Where you start and end

Pick-up: Champs-Élysées
The avenue between the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe, in the 8th arrondissement. Traffic on and around it is slow much of the day.
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.
