It's been a long time since I flew into Terminal 1 at Paris/CDG. I had tried to avoid it for years while it was being renovated. It still feels a bit old-fashioned, like a super-modern 1950s buildings. But it had improved a lot since the last time I was there. The signposting was better, there were welcome signs everywhere, and even quite a bit of public art and even funny videos over the baggage claim to keep you amused while you wait.
Christmas decorations still up
Welcome!
A virtual aquarium on the floor, featuring swimming goldfish. Very cute
Videos to make you laugh while you wait (not that funny, though)
This was a first! A water fountain. I've never seen one in France.
€300,000 fine for fakes... they're serious!
Last but not least: taxi dispatchers (in yellow vests) to keep tourists from falling victim to the aggressive illegal "taxi" drivers inside the airport
