 CDGVAL
driverless trains connect terminals, parking garages, and train stations at Charles de Gaulle
Airport (known to most Parisians as "Roissy," the name of the adjoining suburb).
Stops on the CDGVAL line include:
-
Terminal 1, the original circular terminal at CDG;
-
Parc PR (a parking garage)
-
Terminal 3/Roissypole (with its SCNF railroad station and
the RER's CDG1 station)
-
Parc PX (another parking garage)
-
Terminal 2 station complex (TGV high-speed trains and the
RER's CDG2 station).
Transportation is free, and travel time from one end of the line
to the other is 8 minutes.
