Paris Charles de Gaulle is the busiest airport in France and the primary hub of Air France. Terminal 1 is an architectural landmark in its own right: a circular concrete drum with escalator tubes crisscrossing through an open central void, a piece of 1970s futurism still in daily use. The current schedule feed lists 301 airports in 116 countries connected to Paris.
TGV trains call at the airport's own station, so passengers can connect from a flight to Lyon, Brussels or Bordeaux without going into Paris.
