The Paris CDG airport, terminal 1 !

Posted in Europe, France, Paris

Well this is Friday night and before i do anything else let me tell you a bit more on the transports at Paris airports. I have written plenty in my blog and if you need help just browse the blog or ask me. However, let me tell you here about a little used terminal at Roissy (commonly call Paris), Therefore,this is my take on the Paris CDG airport Terminal 1 ! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

This time will touch base on my nearest terminal at CDG Charles de Gaulle Paris airport, that is terminal 1. Did you know the terminals 1,2,3 and parking R and X are all link by the wonderful free train monorail type CDGVAL? This is a great service and even the road warrior like it.

I have travel by Terminal 1 but has been my least travel terminal at CDG over the years. Nevertheless, I am very close to it now and needed to drop off my rental car as the company gave me a corporate loaner VW… So therefore, I easily left my job on my Europcar rental Nissan Micra and drove to their counters at Terminal 1. Wow!  Getting there was very easy and well posted and on the ground a nice men just took a look and ask for the keys and off I went, simple as that, tops. Then, I walk back to my hotel hehehe! Well walking is good allows you see different things like there is an elevator for the car rental and arrival/Departures and another for the CDGVAL train !

Once on the CDGVAL monorail train type whatever I just needed one stop to get off at the parking R long term and from there walk about 700 meters to the Hotels complex of  the Holiday inn Express, Mercure, Innside by Mélia, and Moxy. All very convenience not only to terminal 1 but with the CDGVAL to terminals 2 and 3 as well. IF coming by car, the car park R and X are link as well!

Terminal 1 is the airport’s first terminal building, constructed between 1967 and 1974. Today, it handles very large aircraft. Terminal 1 consists of a seven-story circular central building, connected to five satellite buildings dedicated to boarding and disembarking. Terminal 1 is accessible by train via the RER B Charles de Gaulle Airport 1 station, which is connected to the terminal by the CDGVAL automated shuttle. High-speed TGV trains serve the Charles de Gaulle Airport 2 station, also accessible via CDGVAL.  A taxi stand is located on the Arrivals level, at gate 24. Drop-off and pick-up for ride-hailing services such as Uber, Bolt, and Freenow take place on the Departures level, at gate 16.  As for buses, Terminal 1 is served by Roissybus, RATP lines 350 and 351, Noctilien night buses N140 and N143, and Magical Shuttle.

Well before getting to my hotel I stop by now a favorite spot the Aéroville shopping center which is huge and nice and had my chow at the Johnny B Goode burger place with a nice grolsch beer!!  And the resto is right here:  Johnny B Goode at Aeroville shopping center

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
