CDG — Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris
France's main airport, opened in 1974 northeast of Paris. Its original terminal is a concrete drum with escalators crossing an open central well — much photographed, much complained about.

About Paris
France's capital, on the Seine, and one of the world's leading centres of tourism, fashion and diplomacy. Its former colonial ties give it unusually deep links to Africa.
Population about 10,500,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Paris draws business and leisure traffic in roughly equal measure.
