Paris airports

[The Sherman]

Hi Everyone am off to paris on Saturday and returning Monday and going to the Beavais airport.
Didnt realise how far away it was and was wondering how long before my flight i should get a bus to the airport in Paris?
have looked and it says it is 40 miles away from city centre?
anyone travelled there with any tips would be greatly appreciated as never been to Paris before.

Beauvais Airport is about 80km (50 miles) Paris.

Bus departures from Port Maillot are scheduled to leave 3 hours before the departure of the relevant flight. (You're advised to be at the bus stop 3 hours 15 minutes prior to the flight time).

To check your bus departure time, see here:

Porte Maillot is on the fringe of the city centre, served by Metro Line 1 (or RER Line C to Neuilly-Porte Maillot):
