General Parking Tips for CDG

Pre-book online: Pre-booking guarantees a space and often reduces cost.
Airport shuttle connections: Use CDGVAL or shuttle buses when parking in lots farther from terminals.
Check closure times: Some long-stay lots may close gates late at night — verify your arrival time.
Navigation apps: Use the official CDG parking map to plan your route before arrival.
