Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

How many runways and passenger terminals does Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport have?

The airport has four runways and three terminals. Terminal 1 has a unique design: it is built as an octopus with a circular terminal building and 7 satellite buildings with boarding gates which can be reach by underground walkways. Terminal 2 is the largest and most confusing one with interconnected sections 2A till 2G, though Terminal 2G is not part of the Terminal but is actually a separate building a ten minute bus ride away. Terminal 3 is the new low-cost carrier terminal where all the low-cost airlines depart from, except easyJet which departs from 2D. Charles de Gaulle is a huge airport and can be confusing. If you have a transfer here or you depart from here, you need to plan enough time to find and get to your gate.
For transport between terminals you can use the free CDGVAL train, which connects all terminals.
