Important Details Before You Go
Three things to verify before you walk out of TNF:
- Can you legally enter France? Some nationalities need a visa even for a few hours. Check your passport’s validity too.
- Do you have enough time? With a 120-minute journey each way by Taxi/Ride-share to RER, you’ll want at least 5-6 hours total to make the trip worthwhile.
- How will you pay? Local currency is the EUR. Cards are widely accepted in most places, but carrying some EUR in cash is a good idea for smaller vendors.
The Best Way Into Toussous-le-noble from TNF
You have two main options for getting from Toussus-le-Noble Airport into town:
