Les Cars Air France
 
 
Ride in an air-conditioned coach between airports and Paris City...
 
 
 

Welcome to Les Cars Air France, your airport connection with Paris!

First introduced in 1933, today's Air France Coach is an air-conditioned express shuttle bus, offering four routes between the airports and key locations in Paris. Access is available to passengers from all airlines; an Air France plane ticket is not required. All the coaches are equipped with comfortable reclining seats, individual seatbelts for safety, a video magazine for your entertainment, and travel literature.

There is no need to struggle with bringing your heavy luggage on-board, as is the case with public city buses. A courteous and experienced handler will stow your bags in the spacious compartment underneath, and retrieve them for you upon arrival.

Tickets may be purchased online in advance at a discounted rate, thereby saving you from hunting for an ATM at the airport; your printed voucher (e-ticket) can be presented directly to the driver.
