For being so iconic around the world, Paris is a relatively small city despite its suburban sprawl. It may surprise you to learn that Paris is served by only one major international airport<\/strong>, along with a smaller, primarily domestic airport. Also, as is popular in most of Western Europe, trains<\/strong> are a major form of transportation into and out of the City of Lights<\/strong>! Sound confusing? Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re here to help with a comprehensive guide to the most common forms of travel and transportation<\/strong> to and from Paris, and how to get from the airports in the suburbs to the city center.<\/p>\n

Of course, once you understand your transportation, you\u2019ll need a destination! Make sure you have your accommodations<\/strong> in Paris booked for your arrival. Staying in a Paris vacation rental<\/a> (for short-term stays) or a Paris furnished apartment<\/a> (for one month or longer) gives you the authentic experience of living in a real local\u2019s apartment, plus the assistance of a licensed real estate agent<\/strong> in case of any communication difficulties or changes in travel plans. With our guide and an agent on the line, your journey to Paris will be as smooth as possible. Bon voyage!<\/em><\/p>\n
