Roissy

Roissy-en-France is best known for hosting Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, the largest airport in Europe. However, the historic city just outside the airport's gates retains its small-town charm, and has several points of interest if you're staying near the airport overnight, or just have a long layover.

Roissy is part of the Île-de-France region. This article also covers the nearby cities of Ecouen and Luzarches, which have a common tourism office.

Get in
Free hotel shuttles leave from the airport bus stand at Terminal 2. The Black and Pink Lines will bring you to the hotels on Allée du Verger in the city center, while the Blue Line will take you the area near the Aéroville mall. You don't need a reservation at the hotels to use the shuttles.
