Snapshots of Lutetia - Charles De Gaulle Airport

Departing From CDG Terminal 1

In the past three months I probably have been flying more than in the three years before that. And since I live in Paris now, it was out of the Aéroports de Paris. Once out of Orly, the other flights were all from Charles de Gaulle, also known as Roissy. Especially Terminal one, the seventies sattelite terminal, is worth mentioning. You check in in the main building, that from the outside looks like a stranded UFO, and then have to go to one of the sattelite buildings that look like pinball bumpers, through a long underground passage to board your flight. Although I appreciate the modernity of the time, nowadays the look and feel of T1 are very outdated. But still, it has its old school science fiction charm.
