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.</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=1113 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 16:04:30 -0500 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=1113 <p>There's a nice photo of this strip online:</p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.airliners.net/photos/photos/8/8/3/1221388.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.airliners.net/photos/photos/8/8/3/1221388.jpg</a></p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=676 Tue, 28 Aug 2007 08:38:15 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=676 <p>Does anyone know of any airline that uses this airport? I think it would be great for someone like EasyJet to open up this route.</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=639 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 16:42:26 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=639 <p>This is one of the BIG General Aviation Airport in Paris for Pistons and Small Jets. Airport of Entry 7 days a week. No public transportation available to Paris, a better option if you dont mind grass strips is LFPZ 6NM north with two parallel runways</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=554 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 01:14:05 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=554 <p>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...</p> <p>Other than for the bits that collapse on people underneath, T2 is somewhat more practical.</p> <p>Well I am from the south of France, and we don't like Paris there, so maybe I have a bias.</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=553 Fri, 03 Aug 2007 01:07:30 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=553 <p>This place is dear to my heart because this is where I grew up, and most of my family still live here....</p> <p>About 25 years ago my father had a little 20ft sailboat which was berthed at Port-Saint-Laurent (the marina you can see just west of the airport on the satellite picture). I remember once we were sailing and the Concorde just flew overhead on short final (it used to come every year in May for the Cannes festival and Monaco GP, one year there were five of them parked on the tarmac). I still remember this magic roar ! Simply out of this world !</p> <p>I subsequently saw Concorde take off or land in CDG, LHR and JFK, but nothing beat that memory. I always wanted to fly on Concorde but unfortunately that will never happens, however I feel privileged for having seen (and heard) it in flight.</p> http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=15 Tue, 05 Jun 2007 02:38:54 -0400 http://www.ourairports.com/comments.html?comment=15 <p>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).</p>
