    🏆 Sento Golden Tip: CDG is enormous and genuinely confusing to navigate. If you're using the RER B, allow at least 15 minutes inside the terminal just to find the station. For stress-free arrival, a pre-booked Holiday Extras transfer with a driver waiting at your specific terminal is the clear winner.
