Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris


The Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport It is one of the main not only in all of Europe but also in the rest of the world. It is also known as the Roissy airport and it is about 25 kilometers northwest of the city. Along with Orly's it is one of the most used if you arrive in Paris, especially if you do it on a low-cost airline. It has 3 terminals (T1, T2 and T3) and the T2 is so big that they have had to divide it into seven parts in order to accommodate all the traffic it has.

If you are going to get to Charles de Gaulle airport Make sure that you do it at the terminal since you can locate and organize your departure in advance. There is a train that connects the three terminals completely free of charge, so if you are going to be at this airport only as a transfer to catch another flight there will be no problem and you can move quickly from one to the other. This shuttle train runs every 20 minutes and takes very few minutes to make the journey.
