Riding East from CDG airport

I'm planning to fly into CDG airport in Paris on a Saturday morning, and ride east into the
countryside directly from there. I have the Michelin 1:200,000 map of the area, and it shows low
traffic roads close by. But it does not have a detailed map of the airport itself.

Has anyone done this? Looking for any advice or things to avoid.

Thanks.

Joe

Can't say I've ridden around CDG ona bike but the roadways - though they may appear small (white)
are anything but. They are still quite busy with heavy traffic. You can/hav to ride on the road out
of the CDG terminals. The trick is to head N/E in the opposite direction of Paris (there are 2 ways
out fo the airport).
