Aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle 1: station history
Served by: RER B.
Did you know?
An SNCF station served by RER line B, in the heart of the Roissypôle complex, at the centre of the airport platform, near terminal 3. It carries the name "Charles-de-Gaulle 1" although it directly serves terminal 3, which can be reached on foot in about 400 metres. Terminal 1 is reached by the CDGVAL automatic metro, from the "Terminal 3 - Roissypole" station, in four minutes. It is built in a covered cutting.
Anecdote
Its style is characteristic of the airport's early days, in the 1970s: designed by Paul Andreu, it is in light grey concrete whose relief is marked by the wooden formwork. A large surface bus station has five sheltered platforms, A to E, serving many bus and coach lines. A new building dedicated to the bus station was added in 2019. A renovation is planned to improve the station's legibility and brightness, with a commercial area of 600 square metres.
