Roissy en France

Traveling in Europe in the summer months of July and August should be avoided.  I flew standby but the CDG airport was crowded and flights were overbooked. But the good thing was since I couldn't get on a flight that day, I shuttled to the Roissy, a very small and quaint town 5 minutes away. This city has a real old city charm to it with its cobblestone streets and old street lights. My experience with airport cities is that they're usually not the greatest cities to stay, but Roissy was definitely a nice haven from the busy airport.
