Paris is famous for its taste, charm and indescribable atmosphere. All these qualities were realized in full measure, when Charles de Gaulle airport was built. The author of the project, Paul André, gave him an unusual futuristic look, which until now (since 1974) has not lost its originality and relevance.
Charles de Gaulle Airport is divided into three terminals. The first one is reserved for flights receiving intercontinental flights. It is housed in a ten-level building of round shape, from which the transitions-rays to the parking of aircraft depart. This is the most open of all terminals - around is dominated by glass and a lot of escalators, covered with transparent caps.
The second terminal was originally built for servicing Air France flights, but today other airlines are served here. It consists of six buildings, which are connected by ground and underground passages. For the convenience of passengers shuttle buses run between terminals, the interval of which is not More than 7 minutes. You can also reach the terminal on the local metro, which trains depart every 3 minutes. All these vehicles are free of charge.
