Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is about 25 km north-east of central Paris. The RER B train reaches the city centre in roughly 35–45 minutes, while the Roissybus serves Opéra and taxis run a fixed fare to central Paris. CDG is a major hub with three terminals, so allow extra time for inter-terminal transfers (the CDGVAL shuttle) if you have an onward Schengen or European connection.

For sightseeing with mild temperatures and reasonable airfares, late spring and early autumn are ideal.
Why Indians fly to Paris
Paris is a bucket-list destination — the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Versailles and Seine cruises draw Indian honeymooners and families year-round, and the city is an easy launch point for multi-country Europe trips by train. It also hosts Indian students at French universities and business and luxury-shopping travellers. A growing number of Indian restaurants and the well-connected Metro make first visits manageable for Kannur travellers.
Schengen visa for Indians
France is in the Schengen area, so Indians need a Schengen visa before travel — there is no visa-on-arrival. Apply through the French consulate or its visa partner with confirmed flights, hotel bookings, travel insurance covering at least €30,000, and proof of funds. Short-stay Schengen visas typically permit up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Apply 3–8 weeks ahead, as appointment slots can be limited in peak season.
