Vatry Airport: a nearby alternative that's often overlooked

Vatry Airport — officially Paris-Vatry Airport (code XCR) — is located in Marne, a few kilometres from Châlons-en-Champagne. Historically known for air freight, it also handles, depending on the season, charter flights and low-cost airlines to several European and Mediterranean destinations.

For many people in Troyes and Aube, Vatry is less well known than CDG, Orly or Beauvais. Yet its location often makes it the closest airport to Troyes and the east of the department — a real advantage when your airline flies from there.

Why a private driver is especially useful for Vatry

Unlike Beauvais, Vatry Airport has no official shuttle from Paris or the nearby large towns. There's no train station close by either. For someone living in Troyes or a town in Aube, that means there is practically no convenient public transport option to Vatry.

That's exactly where TAB CAR comes in: a driver picks you up at home and drops you directly at the terminal, with no changes, no long-stay parking to find and no need to rely on someone else to take you.

Private shuttle to Vatry: the recommended option
