-  On Monday 30 November from 06.00 to  21.00

Road traffic on the concerned motorways will resume on  1^st December.

Aéroports de Paris strongly advises you to use rail transport during those times to go to or leave from Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports. Public transports will be free and more frequent from Sunday noon to Monday evening.
