Airport of Paris-Charles de Gaulle

Transport in Roissy-en-France

Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, often referred to as the Roissy airport, was inaugurated in March 1974 after a 10-year project.

Located 23 km north-east of Paris, its area is 3257 hectares (not counting the hotel and commercial complexes nearby). Officially based at Roissy-en-France in the Val d'Oise, the airport also partially covers the territories of the localities of Epiais-lès-Louvre (Val-d'Oise), Tremblay-en-France (Seine-Saint-Denis), Mesnil-Amelot, Mauregard and Mitry-Mory (Seine-et-Marne).

In 2017, the Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport recorded 69.5 million passengers (an increase of 5.4%), including a third in correspondence. This places it second in Europe behind London Heathrow and makes it the tenth largest airport in the world. It is also the second largest in Europe and the ninth largest in the world in terms of freight with 2.14 million tonnes of goods.

These results, which have been steadily increasing since it was put into service, have led to regular expansions over the decades (new terminals and runways).

The visit of this real city allows to discover behind the scenes of the terminals, the technical zones, the control towers and to understand how are regulated about 1500 landings and daily take-offs. The guides are aviation professionals.

The departmental committees of tourism of Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-d'Oise propose throughout the year various individual formulas or for groups starting from 11 euros (to count at least two hours). Mandatory reservation. ID required to access certain secure areas. Information on +33 1 49 15 98 98 or +33 1 30 73 39 20.
