Not sure which bank? See the map ↓This is not the official way: go yourself to the official taxi rank.
Taxi fares depend on the side of the Seine you are going to. The Seine flows from east to west and splits Paris in two: the Right Bank to the north, the Left Bank to the south. Tap a bank to see its neighbourhoods.
Simplified diagram, not to scale.
The first hours after landing are when it is easiest to get scammed.
RER, bus, taxi, ride-hailing: several options, different prices, scattered information that is rarely in the traveller's language.
Fake taxis, “helpers” at ticket machines, pickpockets: a traveller who has just landed is an easy target.
Hard to know what a ride, a pass or a week in Paris really costs.
The official taxi flat fare for your airport and the bank of your destination: you know what you should pay before you even get in.
RER B, metro 14, bus 9517, Noctilien, taxi and ride-hailing: duration, price, timetables, where to catch them and what to do if something goes wrong.
Fake taxis, help at ticket machines, pickpockets, tourist-trap restaurants: the classic scams, with the right reflexes.
Navigo Easy, airport ticket, Paris Visite: what to buy, and a comparison tool to see whether a pass is worth it.
Also: a checklist for your first hours, accessibility for people with reduced mobility and emergency numbers.
