airport , originally the small regional airport of the city ofBeauvais . This airport was built in the 1930s and improved by the German army during theSecond World War . In 1956, it was opened to commercial use. Since thelow-cost carrier Ryanair made Beauvais Tillé its Paris-area terminal, it has become the third-largestParis airport. It is actually located in the community ofTillé , 3.5 km northeast of Beauvais, a "commune" of theOise "département", and is 85km north of Paris.As of 2005, the airport had three gates, housed within a marquee tent while the permanent facilities were being redeveloped. A simple permanent structure is now complete, with four gates and a number of bars, restaurants and shopping areas. The airport is serviced by a shuttle to the city center and rail station that operates eight times a day; many passengers use a private scheduled coach for a 75-minute trip to
Paris , ending beside thePalais des Congrès at Porte Maillot, located in the 17th arrondissement, approximately a kilometre west of theArc de Triomphe (Irish passengers to Paris sometimes refer to this destination as the James Joyce pub due to the pub's close proximity to the terminus). The fare is 26 euros return, 13 euros one way.Airlines and destinations
