Arrival at Charles de Gaulle Airport<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Welcome to Paris! Once you\u2019ve cleared customs and collected your luggage, you have two main options to reach the city center: follow the signs for “Taxi”<\/b> (official ranks outside the terminals) or “Paris par le train”<\/b> (for the RER station).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row widthopt=”” fixedbg=”” footerrow=””][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”bloc-conseil-expert”]For the most comfortable arrival after a long flight, I strongly recommend taking a G7 Taxi<\/b> <\/a>from the official ranks (approx. \u20ac65 flat rate). While the train is efficient, the transfer at Ch\u00e2telet involves many stairs and long corridors. A taxi will drop you right at the door of your hotel in about 30-45 minutes, allowing you to start your trip stress-free.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”2″ css=”” accent_color=”#D22651″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row widthopt=”” fixedbg=”” footerrow=””][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\u2728 Local Treasure<\/div>\n

As you walk up towards the Arc, stop at No. 68<\/b>. This is the historic Guerlain house<\/b>. Even if you aren’t shopping for perfume, step inside to admire the breathtaking Carrara marble staircase and gold-leaf walls. It\u2019s a 1914 masterpiece hidden in plain sight!<\/p>\n

At No. 74<\/b>, don’t just pass by the arcade. Step into the H\u00f4tel Claridge Gallery<\/b>. Look up at the stunning 1913 glass ceiling and the ornate neo-classical details. It\u2019s a peaceful, opulent bubble that feels like a time machine back to the “Ann\u00e9es Folles” (the Roaring Twenties), away from the avenue’s hustle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
