Wikipedia description:
Roissy-en-France (French pronunciation: [ʁwasi ɑ̃ fʁɑ̃s] , lit. "Roissy-in-France" after the Pays de France), colloquially simply called Roissy, is a commune in the northeastern outer suburbs of Paris, France, in the Val-d'Oise department. It is located 20.7 km (12.9 mi) from the centre of Paris. One-quarter of Charles de Gaulle Airport (France's main airport) is located in the commune (but none of its terminals), which gave its name to the airport originally. Later renamed, the airport is still commonly referred to as "Roissy" in France. The rest of the airport lies on the territory of Tremblay-en-France and several other communes.
