Charles de Gaulle Airport

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) - also known as Paris Roissy - is a fantastic gateway to Europe.

Charles de Gaulle Airport has three modern terminals offering travellers quality facilities and services. An excellent choice of restaurants, bars and shops, plus extensive banking and currency, business, first aid, visitor and special needs amenities are featured at Paris CDG Airport.

The three terminals are connected by free shuttle buses and handle over 200,000 passengers daily.

International flights, excluding Air France, utilize Terminal 1.

Air Austral, Air France and other airlines flying to European destinations utilize Terminal 2. Terminal 2 currently has five separate halls and is being further expanded to an eventual capacity of 50 million people by 2010.

Transit to and from terminal 2A from the other halls is made possible either by bus shuttle or on foot. The furthest terminal, Terminal 2F, is only 15 minutes walking distance from Air Austral's check-in counters. Shuttle buses are available every five minutes.

Paris CDG Airport was one of the first airports in Europe to have an integrated train system serving it: the RER rapid TGV train service reaches central Paris in approximately 45 minutes, Disney World in ten minutes and Lille and Brussels in an hour. Regular RATP buses, taxis and limousines also operate from Paris CDG Airport, and road access from Paris is on the A1 via Porte de la Chapelle.

Located 23 kilometres (14 miles) north-east of Paris, Charles de Gaulle Airport offers numerous transport links to the French capital city by road and rail. Express trains link the terminal from the railway station to central Paris in less than 30 minutes, every 10 minutes.
