Express Train between Paris and CDG Coming in 2023
Express train link from Paris to Charles de Gaulle airport gets final green light

The proposed express train line between central Paris and Charles de Gaulle airport, that will cut journey times to 20 minutes, got final approval from the French parliament on Tuesday, meaning it's on track for 2023.

The line is planned to run from Gare de L'Est, the younger brother of the nearby Gare du Nord station that currently connects the airport to the city.

Once complete in 2023, the CDG Express will speed travellers non-stop along the 32 kilometres (20 miles) between Gare de l'Est railway station and the airport in just 20 minutes. That is twice as fast as the existing suburban train that stops along the way...

A one-way express ticket is projected to cost €24 ($33), compared with less than €10 for the suburban train.
