7. Charles de Gaulle Airport
Charles de Gaulle Airport, affectionately known as Roissy, is more than just Paris’s busiest air gateway; it’s a bold architectural statement. With its iconic circular Terminal 1, designed like a futuristic monument by Paul Andreu, this airport feels like a travel in itself.
You’ll find soaring structures, sweeping curves, and design elements that make the space feel both grand and artistic.
Though its layout can be a bit of a maze, the visual experience is worth it! Often called a “travel machine” or even a “monster” for its massive scale, CDG still manages to charm travelers with its unique style and cultural flair; a fitting welcome to the City of Light.
