Key facts about Beauvais Airport

Paris has its own stars – the main hub Charles de Gaulle (Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle) and the regional Orly (L’aéroport de Paris-Orly). And there is also the «distant cottage» of low-cost airlines – Beauvais Airport, tucked away 90 km from the centre of Paris.

HISKY, Ryanair Group, SkyUp, Volotea, and Wizz Air fly here.

The road to Beauvais is an adventure in itself: it is long, sometimes uncomfortable, and not always cheap. Sometimes a taxi is more cost-effective, especially if there are three or more of you. You can book a taxi from Beauvais to your hotel here.

Hotels near Beauvais Airport

Please note: the airport is closed from 11:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. (sometimes longer), so spending the night inside is not an option. If you have an early morning flight or a late arrival, it is wiser to spend the night nearby

From the airport to Paris by bus

The most direct and predictable option is the Aerobus. They depart from the airport on schedule, and you can relax, look through your photos, or plan your day while the bus takes you to the right part of the capital.

The routes lead to various key points on the map of Paris. Take a look at the map to choose your destination and estimate the travel time.

Line A01, which used to connect Beauvais Airport directly with Porte de l’Est, is currently out of service. It was closed in May 2024 due to preparations for and hosting of the Olympics, and service has not resumed yet.

The most popular Aerobus route is to the university in Saint-Denis, near the famous Stade de France. With up to 100 round trips per day, you can choose a time that allows you to arrive at the airport without a long wait before your flight.

This is the ideal option if your destination is the Paris business district, among skyscrapers and glass towers. La Défense is not only offices, but also shopping centres, restaurants, and a view of the Arc de Triomphe from an unexpected angle.

  • Buses run up to 20 times a day, and the journey takes about 1.5 hours
  • Reservations are required and can only be made online on the official website, but you will be able to board your bus immediately without having to go to the ticket office or wait in line
  • From La Défense, you can easily transfer to the RER A or E, the M1 metro, or the T2 tram and continue your journey to any part of Paris

This route is for those who want to get to the lively north-east of Paris — to the Cité des Sciences, parks, and concert venues. La Villette is a mix of museums, green spaces, and event spaces.

  • The bus takes about an hour and a half, with up to 15 trips a day, so you can choose a convenient time
  • Tickets can only be booked online, which is still faster than dealing with ticket offices on site
  • From the La Villette stop, it is easy to take the RER E, metro M7, or tram T3b

A direct ticket to a fairy tale: the bus will take you straight to the gates of the amusement park, bypassing transfers and city noise. This route is a little more expensive than the others, but it saves you the hassle of transfers and unnecessary logistics. The route is seasonal – from mid-June to early September, several times a week, so a trip to Disneyland can be a great end or start to your journey.

  • The journey takes about two hours
  • It is worth booking tickets online: this way, you will be sure to be on the bus at the right time on the right day
  • From the stop in Chessy/Marne-la-Vallée, it is only a few steps to the park entrance or the RER A transfer if you want to continue your journey in the region

Car rental

An hour on the A16 motorway – and you’re in Paris. You can choose a rental car at home: it will be waiting for you at the terminal on the day of your trip, and you can easily return it at one of the locations in Paris or at the airport at the end of your trip.

Book your car in advance

If you are arriving at Beauvais Airport in your own car, there is plenty of parking available, including long-term parking, which is convenient if you are flying away for a few days and want to leave your car under supervision.

For those who prefer to be driven, a taxi or transfer is a good option: an hour and a half on the road – and you are at the hotel door.

Through the city of Beauvais to Paris

Sometimes the route to Paris passes through Beauvais itself – everyone has their own reasons for this. Bus No. 6 runs from the airport to the city centre in 20 minutes: it passes near the train station, from where TER trains depart for Paris Nord station (Gare du Nord).

Buses run from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at intervals of 30 minutes to 1.5 hours.

An alternative is the FlixBus and BlaBlaCar Bus intercity buses, which depart from the centre of Beauvais and take an average of 1.5 hours.

If circumstances force you to stay here until morning, you can spend the night in one of the hotels in the city or very close to the airport.
