Belle Arrivée

Paris Charles de Gaulle airport transfer in a classic car

Belle Arrivée is a private transfer from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) to your hotel or address anywhere in Paris and Île-de-France, in a restored French classic: a Citroën DS, a Traction Avant, a 2CV, a Peugeot 404 or a Renault 4CV. Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall, carries your luggage and drives you into Paris at the pace of another era.

How the pickup at Charles de Gaulle works

Charles de Gaulle has three terminals: Terminal 1, Terminal 2 (halls 2A to 2G) and Terminal 3. Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal where you land, holding a sign with your name, so there is no pickup point to find and no queue to join.

We ask for your flight number so the meeting time follows your actual landing. An early arrival or a delay changes nothing for you. Your luggage is carried to the car and loaded for you.

A classic car, a taxi or a ride-hailing app?

A Paris taxi from CDG to the city charges a regulated flat fare, about €56 to the Right Bank and €65 to the Left Bank in 2026, before booking fees. Ride-hailing prices move with demand. Both are the quickest, most economical way into Paris.

Belle Arrivée is something else: the first hour of your stay spent in a car that shaped French history, with a chauffeur who greets you by name and knows the car's story. The price is fixed per journey for all guests, covers any destination in Île-de-France, and is shown before you ask.

The cars are kept as they were built: there is no air conditioning, cabins are less quiet than a modern saloon, and the smaller cars carry two guests and limited luggage. Each car page sets out exactly what fits.
