Coming from Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport
Accessible from the airport at Roissypole, RER B train line goes into central Paris. At Châtelet les Halles station, switch to RER A to Cergy-Préfecture. The fastest way to Cergy is to use bus line 95-18 which links Roissypole to Cergy-Pontoise in 1 hour, for 7 €, from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
To reach Paris, your trip will be considerably shortened if you use the Air France shuttle buses that bring you into the heart of the capital in 30 minutes.
For the Val d’Oise shuttle bus, line 95-18

Coming from Paris
The most practical solution is to use the RER A train line. Your travel time will vary from 1 hour starting from eastern Paris to 25 minutes from La Défense in western Paris to the Cergy-Préfecture station. It is then a 3- minute walk to the School.
If you have a car, estimate 40 minutes if traffic is flowing well to come from the Clichy or Clignancourt exits on the Paris beltway (périphérique) and 1 hour from the Arch of Triumph. You can park your car in the ESSEC parking lot.
