PARIS (CDG) (Contributed by Baron Kodjo)
"January 2005 - My wife and I were heading back home to Miami from our stay in Great Britain though Charles De Gaulle- Paris this past January 2005. Our wait was more than 5 hours and I could not believe the filth from hell, the bathrooms were worse than some I have seen in Africa! Smell of Urines all over the floor, feces on the walls, toilet papers all over the place, rude french workers. Twice, I ran away from the area till my stomach could not hold it anymore and I had to go. It was the worse experience I ever had in any airport in the last 20 years. Ironically, as we were praying to leave on time so we didn't have to use the filthy bathroom, some models came along asking us to fill out a report card on how to improve the airport. I use a few expletive and directed her to go in the toilet herself and fill outthe report in my best french. So much for the city of lights! By the way I love Paris and been there many times and probably will again, but the bathroom I will never use it again. Next time I will use the airplane before I land in Paris. " Added 12 August 2005
