Terminal 1 at Charles de Gaulle Airport was the first to be constructed in 1974 and sports a most unusual design. The main portion of the building consists of ten floors, only some of which are open to the public, with each floor dedicated to a particular function. The lowest publicly-accessible floor features an array of shops and restaurants, some check-in counters, and a sprinkling of brightly-colored chairs where a weary traveler may repose while waiting for the next flight.
