For getting around Paris and the surrounding region, we recommend using public transportation whenever possible. To make your journey easier, you may find it helpful to download apps such as Citymapper or Île-de-France Mobilités, which provide real-time route planning, schedules, and service updates across metro, RER, bus, and tram networks. 

 With the Île-de-France Mobilités app, you can purchase and store tickets directly on your phone and validate them at gates, meaning you do not necessarily need to buy a physical Navigo card. Alternatively, if you already have a Navigo pass, you can easily top it up via the app. Please note that traditional paper tickets were discontinued in 2025 as part of the region’s transition to digital ticketing, making mobile or contactless options the most convenient and efficient way to travel during your stay.
By taxi
 After arriving at the Taxi station on the plaza, enter CNIT from plaza-level glass doors. Go DOWN one level inside CNIT and follow  signage to CNIT Forest. 

By car
