In Gonesse, a complicated daily life under an air corridor


Square picture

How do we live under an air corridor? By day, with passenger transport, as by night, cargo planes that carry freight taking over. Report in Gonesse, a few minutes from the airport to find Stéphanie, a dynamic fifty-something who works nearby, and her retired parents Claude and Jean-Claude. The garden is magnificent, the birds are singing, but soon, between the bell tower of the church and the top of the roof of the house, the planes appear.


In 2019, more than 500,000 planes took off or landed on the runways of France's largest airport, Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, northeast of Paris.  Under its planes, hundreds of thousands of inhabitants are the victims.
