Copy the station names from your tickets
Paris has several main stations. Record exact names, local times and train references. Check whether the ticket refers to a central Paris station or another station in the surrounding region.
Compare the whole connection
Include getting off the first train, crossing the city and boarding the next. A driving or metro estimate does not automatically cover these steps. Check SNCF information, stairs and luggage needs.
Write down the meeting plan
For a private vehicle, confirm the meeting point, contact and luggage capacity. Chauffeur Parisien’s airport and train station transfers (commercial link) page lets you request a quote. Compare public transport too; a car cannot guarantee recovery from a delayed train.
Plan for a changed arrival
Check your tickets and the operator’s connection conditions. Tell the transport provider if your arrival changes and obtain a revised meeting confirmation. Keep one accessible contact; these arrangements do not replace ticket conditions.
