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.
