Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airport is the largest airport in Europe in terms of surface area. It is second, behind London-Heathrow, in the number of passengers transported.

The airport is also full of surprising, even unusual, facts and anecdotes. Europe 1 offers you seven unusual figures about the airport on the 50th anniversary of its inauguration. The list includes film shoots, animal species, and even an Iranian refugee's stay at the airport in the 1990s.
