So what do you do if you need to spend the night at Beauvais airport to get to your early morning flight on time? If you travel to Beauvais airport by public transport, you've probably heard of the shuttle bus, which runs from various points in Paris to the airport in about an hour's drive. Shuttles leave daily from 3 a.m. from La Défense, the University of Saint-Denis or La Villette: all you have to do is get to these departure points by your own means (night bus or cab) to take the shuttle and avoid paying for a cab from Paris to Beauvais airport.
