Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is one of Europe’s most important international aviation hubs and the principal long-haul gateway to the French capital. Its extensive network connects Paris with destinations across virtually every major world region, making CDG particularly important for both originating passengers and international connections.

The airport is vast, with multiple terminal complexes accommodating a wide range of airlines and passenger types. Its scale can make planning connections important, but Paris Aéroport provides detailed terminal maps, transfer information and passenger services designed to help travellers navigate the complex.

Where Charles de Gaulle particularly reflects its destination is in shopping and gastronomy. International luxury houses and French brands form a major part of the retail experience, while cafés, restaurants and bars bring elements of Parisian dining culture into the airport. Duty-free shopping is complemented by fashion, beauty, accessories and speciality retail.

Lounges provide relaxation, dining, Wi-Fi and working environments depending on airline access or eligibility, while the airport also offers medical services, pharmacies, family areas, luggage storage, accessibility assistance, currency facilities and places of worship.

Culture has increasingly become part of the airport experience too, with exhibition and artistic initiatives helping connect travellers with Paris even when they never leave the terminal.

As the home hub of Air France and a major SkyTeam connecting point, CDG plays a critical role in global aviation. Its scale is considerable, but so too is the breadth of its services. At its best, Charles de Gaulle combines global connectivity with French fashion, gastronomy and culture, creating an airport that unmistakably belongs to Paris.
