Taxi Provins → CDG Airport

The taxi transfer from Provins to Charles de Gaulle Airport is the vital link between this UNESCO World Heritage medieval city and France's largest international airport, covering 95 km in approximately 65 minutes via the A4 and the Francilienne orbital motorway. Provins, inscribed on the UNESCO list since 2001, was one of the great cities of medieval Europe, hosting the legendary Champagne Fairs that drew merchants from across Christendom. Today, the upper town's 1,200 metres of 13th-century ramparts, Caesar's Tower with its unique octagonal keep, the underground passages, and the tithe barn draw over 300,000 visitors annually -- many of them international tourists from the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan and beyond, who arrive and depart through CDG. For these visitors, a direct taxi from their Provins hotel to their departure terminal is far preferable to the punishing public transport alternative: Transilien P to Paris-Est (1 hour 20 minutes), then a metro or RER transfer across the crowded capital, followed by the RER B to Roissy -- totalling 3 hours with two stressful luggage-laden connections. The taxi route via the Francilienne bypasses Paris entirely, delivering you to CDG without ever entering the capital. The 12,000 residents of Provins also rely on this transfer for long-haul flights to North America, Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean, all concentrated at CDG.
