My comment about Charles de Gaulle International Airport

(plain text only)

Paris Charles de Gaulle (Roissy) is not very practicable. Difficulties to access by the périphérique "highway" crowded traffic (Trucks). Baggage claim zone is a terrible jungle. A positive point is the RER between Paris "Gare du Nord" and Terminals not very cheap but very easy to use and fast. Negative point, sometimes not reliable due to strikes.

I dont know what drugs were being used at the time by the architect that imagined that soviet-style concrete monstrosity. Not only is it ugly, but the baggage claim is an embarrassment with people walking on one another. When you think it's the first impression that so many holidaymakers are getting of France...

Other than for the bits that collapse on people underneath, T2 is somewhat more practical.

Well I am from the south of France, and we don't like Paris there, so maybe I have a bias.

RER
 

The RER (the commuter light rail system) runs directly into Paris, and you can use the same ticket to transfer to the Paris Metro or another RER line. It's very inexpensive (about 8.10 euros, I think).
