France has distinct city-airport markets. Paris is split between CDG, Orly and more distant Beauvais; Nice anchors the Riviera and Monaco; Lyon serves the Rhône-Alpes; Marseille connects Provence; and Geneva is an important international gateway for French Alpine cities and resorts.
The directory prioritizes the complete city-to-terminal journey, because cross-Paris traffic, autoroute tolls and Alpine or Riviera congestion can outweigh simple airport distance.
