Charles de Gaulle Airport

Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), opened in 1974, is France’s largest airport with three main terminals and sprawling satellite concourses, serving as Air France’s primary hub and home base for regional carrier HOP!; it’s one of Europe’s busiest intercontinental gateways. Located about 25 km (15 miles) northeast of central Paris, CDG offers strong connections by RER B train, TGV high-speed rail at the on-site station, the CDGVAL shuttle and multiple bus and highway links to surrounding cities. Travelers should expect airport prices and parking to be on the pricey side, though frequent low-cost and competitive international fares keep many flights affordable.
