The route from Paris 13 Gobelins to Frankfurt Airport
From the Gobelins quarter in the 13th arrondissement to Frankfurt Airport is around 561 kilometres, which the private transfer covers in just under six hours. From south-east Paris the driver takes the A4, passing Marne-la-Vallée, Châlons-en-Champagne and Reims.
The crossing from France into Germany is near Saarbrücken; the tolled French motorways (péage) are included in your fixed price. The A6 and A3 then lead to the airport.
Pick-up at your address in the Gobelins quarter
The driver collects you directly at your address in the Quartier des Gobelins – near the Place d'Italie, by the Manufacture des Gobelins, or in the lanes of the Butte-aux-Cailles. Your luggage is loaded and you set off with no detour to a station.
As the A4 in eastern Paris is busy in the morning, the departure is planned with a buffer so you reach the terminal in good time.
Arriving at your departure terminal in Frankfurt
At Frankfurt Airport the car stops right at your departure terminal – Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 – so you reach check-in without a long walk. It holds equally for your transfer between Paris 13 Gobelins and Frankfurt Airport.
For the long approach from Paris, plenty of time reserve for security and boarding is built in. The same applies on the Paris 13 Gobelins ↔ Frankfurt Airport route.
Gobelins – tapestries, Chinatown and the Butte-aux-Cailles
The Gobelins quarter in the 13th arrondissement takes its name from the royal Manufacture des Gobelins, which has woven famous tapestries since the 17th century and still operates today. Around the Place d'Italie and the Avenue de Choisy lies the largest Chinatown in Paris, with its Asian markets and restaurants.
Close by, the village-like Butte-aux-Cailles keeps its low houses and street art – a layered district from which travellers set out on business and for pleasure.
Travel tips for the drive to Frankfurt
Keep your ID ready for the border crossing near Saarbrücken. On the near-six-hour route, a short break along the way makes a natural pause. Across the roughly 561 km between Paris 13 Gobelins and the airport it applies too.
Give your terminal and departure time when booking, so the pick-up from the Gobelins quarter is set ahead of the morning rush on the A4.

Transfer, taxi or train from Paris 13 Gobelins?
From the Gobelins quarter to Frankfurt, the fixed-price transfer offers the greatest comfort: a taxi meters the 561 kilometres and is rarely offered over such a distance. The TGV is fast but requires getting to the Gare de l'Est and, in Frankfurt, a change from the main station to the airport with luggage. A rental car means nearly six hours at the wheel. With the private transfer you get in at your door in Gobelins and out at the terminal – at a price fixed in advance.

The fixed price for the 561 km route is shown in the booking form before you book and never changes afterwards — regardless of traffic, time of day, weekday or how long the drive actually takes. It depends on the vehicle class and the distance, not on a meter.

How much luggage fits in each vehicle?
The sedan classes take 2 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags; the Business Van takes 7 suitcases plus 5 cabin bags for up to 8 passengers. Declare oversized items such as skis, a golf bag or a pushchair when booking so the right class is dispatched.
Is this a taxi or a chauffeur service?
This is a chauffeur service: the journey is booked in advance, the price is fixed before you book and no meter runs. Your driver wears a suit, greets you by name and helps with the luggage — in the Business and First Class categories it is a limousine service with a Mercedes E- or S-Class. You hail a taxi at a rank; a chauffeur is booked to the minute in Paris 13 Gobelins. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Paris 13 Gobelins.
Can I pay the driver by card?
Card payment is accepted directly in the vehicle — as is cash or paying online in advance, and business customers can be invoiced. You receive a receipt with VAT shown either way.
Can I travel with an infant or child seat?
A child seat, booster or infant carrier is selected during booking and fitted by the driver before pickup. State the child's age so the correct size group is installed.
