## Where you start and end

- **Pick-up: Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).** Taxis wait at the official ranks outside each terminal. The flat fare to Paris depends only on the bank of the Seine you're going to.
- **Drop-off: La Défense.** The business district just west of Paris, in Puteaux and Courbevoie. It's outside the city, so trips there run on the suburban rates, not the airport flat fares.
