I don't think airport snoozing is really that common in france, the staff looked at me slightly oddly but left me be. -Lesley

"I chose to sleep there due to lack of money after my scheduled flight was canceled...
good points: I found a comfortable position, between terminal 1 and 2, first floor, in front of the shop 'Relay' there is a lounge-zone with tables and soft benches of circular shape (color green), chairs and tables are stacked during the night but you can lie on the benches and it's like being on a sofa! I was not alone, other 4-5 stayed there for the night. also: close to toilet, sockets for laptop in the corridor just beside (but you cannot reach them from chairs, you'll have to sit on the floor).
bad points: strong lights all night, a recording with airport messages periodically repeated (you can fix with earplugs), cleaning with hoover by janitors in the middle of the night...
not my best night ever of course, sleep frequently interrupted, but not bad for an airport."
