Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 station

Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 (French pronunciation: [aeʁɔpɔʁ ʃaʁl də ɡol œ̃]) is one of two railway stations at Charles de Gaulle Airport, the primary airport for the Paris region and the largest in France.

The station opened on 30 May 1976, two years after the opening of the airport, as the northern terminal of the SNCF's "Roissy Rail" project (Roissy was the original name of the airport) which would connect the station to Gare du Nord in Paris with trains departing every 15 minutes and making the trip in 19 minutes.

[2] Like Terminal 1, the station is built with concrete in the brutalist architecture style, designed by Paul Andreu.

Over the coming years, the shuttle bus system began to experience severe delays as road traffic became congested around the increasingly busy airport.

[4] The CDGVAL (Charles de Gaulle Véhicule Automatique Léger, English: Charles de Gaulle light automatic vehicle) system finally opened on 4 April 2007, linking Terminal 1, parking lot PR, this station, Parking lot PX, and the TGV/RER station at Terminal 2.
