IDFM says "60 à 80 minutes"; the timetable schedules 44 to 76. It is the all-stops road route through Le Bourget, and traffic decides the rest.

It stops at Terminal 1 on the way out of the airport, which the 9517 and the 351 do not.

The EUR 14 airport ticket is not valid on it.

From five people the taxi is cheapest to the right bank: EUR 61.50 against EUR 70 on the RER B, EUR 78 for eight against EUR 112. An ordinary taxi seats four, so book a larger one for five or more; the booking fee still leaves it ahead.

To the left bank (EUR 65 flat), five people pay EUR 70.50 by taxi against EUR 70 by train — the taxi wins from six. The boundary is the river: 1st–4th, 8th–12th and 16th–20th arrondissements are right bank; 5th–7th and 13th–15th are left.

It is the same price at 03:00 as at noon. The arrêté has no night, Sunday or holiday variant for the flat fare, whatever the meter's tariff letter says.

Ask for a stop or a detour on the way and the flat fare no longer applies; the meter does. Waiting you request is charged on top.

No authority publishes a taxi journey time; 45 minutes is a working estimate, based on the N143 night bus's 42-minute timetabled run on the same road with no traffic. Allow more than an hour at peak.

Any Paris taxi must apply this fare, and the ranks are the place to find one. A driver quoting more than EUR 56 to a right-bank address for four people with bags is wrong.
