Everyone knows about Paris's huge Aéroport Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, often called simply "CDG." With dozens of terminals (disguised as "Terminal 2: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, all the way to K, L and M...).

Paris's older Aéroport Orly is nearly as well known, and budget fliers may have heard of Aéroport Beauvais-Tillé north of Paris in Picardie.

But France has many more airports, and not just in the larger cities such as Bordeaux, Lyon and Marseilles. Smaller cities and regions have smaller airports that may receive some domestic and international flights.

France's rail and road systems are so good that it often makes the most sense to take the train or to drive, but we have mentioned local and regional airports wherever we deem them useful.
