Thanks

Only buses I could find are with the SNCF, French train company, who uses buses for part of the trip from Beauvais to Rouen. But it is possible there is bus service out there.

You can book a train ticket online or buy it the day you travel.

RER/METRO STATIONS IN PARIS

Question:

Which metro or RER station is on the end of shuttle bus? Train goes direct from the Airport, or how far is the train station from the Airport and to which metro or RER station does the train arrive? Thank you very much.

Answer:

The shuttle from Beauvais Airport to Paris arrives at Porte Maillot (metro line 1 and RER C).

The Airport has no direct train connections. The closest train station is Beauvais SNFC Station, 20 minutes by bus or 10 minutes by taxi from the Airport. If I understand your last question right, you mean the train from the town of Beauvais to Paris. If so, the train from Beauvais arrives at Gare du Nord. There, you can take RER B and D along with metro lines 4 and 5.
