France is lovely and worth visiting. I don’t think the particular French security guards on my husband’s last trip to this airport were happy to be dealing with a U.S. resident, and they ended up ruining his vacation entirely. He was on his way to Spain and was just in France on a short lay-over but they decided to send him back to Chicago. They said he needed a visa, although everyone else in the world said he didn’t, including Spain. They kept him in a filthy holding cell for 10 hours while they switched his flight for him. The “lowly” security guards thought that he should be let through on to Spain but their supervisor, an unfriendly and quite rude woman, refused to allow it. A week after he was home they finally found his luggage, which the authorities had failed to locate when they decided to send him back to the States, and we did finally get a ticket voucher from American Airlines for the ruined trip. But still.. it should have never happened!
