Paris airports to Rouen — transfers & shuttles.

Most international Armada visitors land at a Paris airport — Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG), Orly or Beauvais — and continue to Rouen, about 1h15–1h30 away. Here are your options, from the cheapest to the most comfortable, plus how to reach the quays once the event is on.

Book a transfer from a Paris airport

From each airport

• Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) — the main hub; RER/train into Paris, then a direct Saint-Lazare–Rouen train, or a private transfer door-to-door.
• Orly — south of Paris; tram/Orlyval + train into Paris then on to Rouen, or a private transfer.
• Beauvais — used by some low-cost flights and the furthest out; a private transfer is often the simplest.

By train via Paris

Direct trains link Paris Saint-Lazare and Rouen-Rive-Droite in about 1h15–1h30, several times a day. From Rouen's station it's a short walk or bus to the Seine quays.

Getting to the quays during the Armada

During the event (17–27 June 2027) central Rouen is busy and some streets close. Drive to a Park & Ride on the edge of town and take the metro, TEOR or bus in — see our getting-around guide.
