With the drastic drop in air traffic, the ADP group plans to close two terminals this week, probably the T3 and T2G. 

In the capital, the four major tourist sites of the Eiffel Tower, the Palace of Versailles, the Louvre Museum and the Disneyland Paris parks are now closed to the public. On the Grand Roissy, the Château d'Écouen, the National Renaissance Museum, the Royaumont abbey and the Air and Space Museum are also closed. 

Access to Charles de Gaulle Airport is maintained via RER B, Roissybus buses as well as Bus Direct. RATP public transport is maintained. To Bus Express 93, traffic is disrupted : the timetables are communicated day by day on the website of Keolis CIF. 

Some hotel-airport-hotel shuttles are suspended: you must contact your hotel directly to find out about the replacement solutions put in place.

Le CDGVAL works to serve airport hotels. 

The Grand Roissy hotels, already strongly impacted by the health crisis linked to Covid-19, are therefore likely to be further weakened with the closure of their restaurants and bars. Indeed, the Secretary of State Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne made it clear that the hotels remain open, but that if room-service is authorized, the bars and restaurants of hotels can however no longer accommodate the public. 

The Aéroville shopping center closes, except essential shops:

  • Auchan hypermarket : Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 21 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 20:30 p.m.
  • bakery Paul : Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 18 p.m.

Since March 15, the Pathé Gaumont group has closed all of its 82 cinemas for an indefinite period. 

At Charles de Gaulle Airport, all non-essential businesses are closed until further notice, with the exception of Relay, pharmacies (including those at Roissy 2 A / B / C / D and Terminal 2E) and shops offering take-out food. 

In the municipalities around the airport - Roissy-en-France, Mesnil-Amelot and Tremblay-en-France: pharmacies, food shops, gas stations, banks, tobacconists, as well as as essential public services. 

Note in this gloomy atmosphere, a technical feat was however achieved this morning at Charles de Gaulle: a flight lasting 16:30 non-stop between Tahiti and Paris, landed this Monday morning at Roissy. This is a first for AIR Tahiti Nui, in order to avoid the usual stopover in Los Angeles, USA. To learn more, click here.
