PARIS AÉROPORT
The little brand book
Paris Aéroport, our traveller brand
The Group expresses itself through two complementary voices: the voice of the group brand - Groupe ADP - and that of its brand dedicated to travellers - Paris Aéroport. The latter is proof of our desire to offer a new experience in our airports, one that is worthy of the most beautiful city in the world. The Paris Aéroport brand has a key role to play in promoting the attractiveness of our airports in an increasingly competitive international context. To fulfil this role, it embodies the promises made to travellers through its language, various airport areas and excellent services. The driving force of this brand, which we are bringing to life together, lies in what originally inspired it: Paris. It has thus adopted a meaningful and precise means of communication, which promotes our identity across the whole world. It is up to us to wave our brand’s flag high and strong in order to become the favourite airport among travellers. This brand book explains the fundamentals of the Paris Aéroport brand in terms of strategy and graphic design. It also includes practical case studies, thus offering an instructive dimension to facilitate the understanding and use of this style of communication. Every user of this book can find the keys to allow them to be creative, all while respecting Paris Aéroport’s identity.

PARIS AÉROPORT - ESSENCE
THE UNIQUE IDENTITY OF PARIS AÉROPORT IS BASED ON A SOLID, STRATEGIC FOUNDATION. THIS FOUNDATION IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND ALL OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS AND ACTIONS, AND ENSURES THEIR UNIFORMITY AND CONSISTENCY.
The essence of Paris Aéroport
The brand platform
The Paris Aéroport brand has a strong ambition: to assist travellers and earn their loyalty by offering a truly excellent airport experience that’s worthy of the most beautiful city in the world. A unique experience that is full of emotion and highly Parisian, and one that is embodied by a promise: “Paris vous aime” (Paris loves you).
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
This declaration of love sums up our commitments to travellers, gives meaning to our mission, and is driven by our expertise and our very essence.
Vision
FIRM BELIEFS THAT GUIDE BRAND DECISIONS
In a world of burgeoning air travel, the attractiveness of airports relies as much on their efficiency as on their ability to make travelling special. This is why Paris is at the very core of Paris Aéroport: Paris Aéroport is Paris.
Mission
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK

Vocation
BRAND BUSINESS AND EXPERTISE

Individual attention
EXPERTISE THAT ENABLES THE BRAND TO HONOUR ITS PROMISE
Paris Aéroport is committed to serving every traveller by enlisting its customer service staff to provide unwavering, welcoming attention in a refined manner, at every stage of their journey.
At Paris Aéroport, Paris vous aime.
The essence of Paris Aéroport
The brand promise
PARIS VOUS AIME, represents special attention We pay special attention to each individual and to meeting their needs, above and beyond expectation. We promise to make them feel welcome, heard, understood and respected.
PARIS VOUS AIME , represents a duty
It is our solemn duty to anticipate each and every need of each and every traveller. This means special care for those who are nervous about travelling. It means offering the right answer at the right time to ensure travellers receive the very best in terms of quality and irreproachable service.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
PARIS VOUS AIME, represents an ambition It is our ambition to offer the finest shops
in an extraordinary setting, while also providing a variety of experiences, special moments, culture, openness and amazement, so as to satisfy passengers’ new aspirations. We aim to make their visit at the airport a truly enjoyable one, where everyone can choose how to spend their time, whether it's working, learning, discovering, enjoying themselves or being amazed.
PARIS VOUS AIME, represents enthusiasm
Our enthusiasm transcends borders and cultures. We focus our attention, quite simply, on people, men and women from all across the globe.
OUR FIVE TRAVELLER COMMITMENTS
Time management
From the fear of missing their plane, to not being able to park and even getting lost in the airport, there are many sources of stress when arriving at the airport. To help travellers have the best experience possible, we are particularly mindful of reducing waiting times and creating offers and services, such as real-time updates, easy airport connections, and automated baggage drop-off, which make for a simple and intuitive visit.
“ Paris vous aime” is the foundation of our commitments. This principle is what inspires life in our terminals, the development of new services, and the enrichment of the airport experience. For travellers, Paris Aéroport therefore means managing their time, enjoying themselves, travelling with peace of mind, receiving special attention, and being amazed. Paris Aéroport means experiencing the best of Paris. This is how travellers must feel when visiting our airports. This declaration of love must be supported by proof: our commitment to assisting them.
Recognition
As we want travellers to want to come back to our airports, we aim to foster thoughtful relations to gain their loyalty. Our customer service staff are committed to offering a personalised welcome that meets the needs of all of our travellers, be they on a business trip or travelling with family. Our free, 100% digital My Paris Aéroport loyalty programme is central to this personalised approach.
Entertainment
Travel starts and ends at the airport. When waiting for a flight or transfer, travellers use their time as best they see fit. For lovers of the finer things, and for all budgets, the best of Paris can be found in our shops and restaurants, along with comfortable spaces adapted to every need and whim. From entertainment, dining, and shopping to working or even just relaxing, travellers are free to decide how they spend their time.
Peace of mind
So that passengers may travel with complete peace of mind, we have 5,000 professionals across our airports to provide reassurance and ensure security instructions are respected. Being busy places, airports are highly concerned by such challenges. We guarantee the highest levels of security by implementing inspection protocols enacted by public authorities.
Amazement
Paris is seen as an iconic destination by travellers from every corner of the globe. The city of lovers, of French know-how, museums and much more... Paris is a dream come true. We perpetuate this dream throughout our airports by organising unique exhibitions to which we invite the biggest names form the cultural, luxury and gastronomical worlds.
THREE KEY INDICATORS

So that travellers may prepare their visit to the airport with peace of mind and save time in the process, we created the Paris Aéroport application. With real-time guidance, schedules, weather forecasts, check-in areas, and shopping offers, travellers can arrive at the airport already knowing the lie of the land.
LE-BUS DIRECT
In partnership with Keolis, we are facilitating access to our airports and improving direct links with Paris thanks to Le Bus Direct. This direct coach service also offers premium features: air conditioning, Wi-Fi, USB ports, luggage assistance, and real-time updates on journeys.
THE BRAND OF A MULTIFACETED PARIS PARIS IS BOTH THE GUIDE RAIL AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE MUSE OF PARIS AÉROPORT. VIBRANT AND MULTIFACETED, THE CITY IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND PARIS AÉROPORT, WHICH OFFERS TRAVELLERS A TRULY UNIQUE AND RICH EXPERIENCE.
The brand of a multifaceted Paris
Which Paris?
The Paris Aéroport brand is the ambassador of a Paris with a thousand faces.
Far from the rigid Paris often seen in postcards, Paris Aéroport’s daily communication draws on a surprising Paris, one whose fascination will last forever, one that is constantly offering something new, and one that breaks down stereotypes and shines out to travellers across the entire world.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
Paris Aéroport reproduces Paris’s many facets through four fundamentals that inspire it and encourage us to reinterpret Parisian imagery:
embodiment, elegance, the mixing of genres and boldness.
They form the framework for all our projects and communication intended for travellers. They must also help us to resist the temptation of a literal interpretation, and instead advocate a singular, modern vision of Paris to constantly rouse more amazement.
If Paris was embodied in a memory it would be a young woman in a hurry, unaware of the prestigious monuments standing just behind her, reminding us that Paris is, above all, a place where people live.
Embodiment
Like our airports, Paris is shaped by those who live there, who visit it, constantly on the move and full of life. Travellers, men and women from Paris, from the whole world: people are the beating heart of Paris and are naturally central to the experience we aim to shape in our airports. Honouring this is proof that our priorities include focusing on people and establishing relationships.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
If Paris was embodied in an art form it would be a modern ballet bursting with energy and performed beneath the painted ceiling of the Palais Garnier opera house.
The brand of a multifaceted Paris
If elegance was a celebrity it would be Sophie Marceau, a teenager from the Parisian suburbs who became an icon of timeless French beauty. This well-liked, bubbly personality embodies Parisian elegance that’s both chic and playfully arrogant.
Elegance
Elegance is a stance defined by a high expectation for quality. It is the essence of our projects, our services and everything we offer in our airports. It can be felt in all our communications, from the smallest of actions to the most remarkable feats, and is subtly visible all throughout the passenger journey.
If the mixing of genres was an exhibition it would be that of Jeff Koons, in Versailles, who merged the ultra- contemporary with pure classicism for all the world to see.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
The mixing of genres
Inspired by Paris, Paris Aéroport dares to mix genres with the best of what it has to offer, combining audacity with authenticity. Bringing elements together to create unexpected combinations reveals singularity and offers a touch of modernity. This is what we show in our airports and through our communications.
If the mixing of genres was a style it would be that of Maison Château Rouge with its waxed clothing, which takes a modern and urban take on tradition African clothes.
The brand of a multifaceted Paris
If boldness was a singer it would be Christine and the Queens who break with the usual codes of singing and dancing, and are constantly reinventing their performances.
Boldness
From wittiness to the audacity to challenge the status quo, Paris is bold. Paris Aéroport takes inspiration from this boldness to have an effect on travellers, surprise them and make them smile. In its communications, even when least expected, the brand shakes things up, rewrites the rules, and makes allusions to current affairs, all while showing finesse. This gives travellers the feeling of being assisted by staff with character.
If boldness was a designer it would be Jean- Charles de
Castelbajac. Inspired by art and the world of childhood, he never fails to surprise. His fun creations, striking visuals and bright colours always leave a lasting impression.
The mural is the result of his collaboration with the street art duo Lek & Sowat.
PARIS AÉROPORT - COMMUNICATION
ALWAYS RECOGNISABLE BUT NEVER THE SAME, PARIS AÉROPORT IS A BRAND THAT LENDS TO FLEXIBILITY THANKS TO ITS MANY VARIED FUNDAMENTALS: LOGOTYPE, RAYS, COLOURS, TYPEFACE, SLEEK DRAWINGS, SHAPES AND LANGUAGE. THESE FUNDAMENTALS STRUCTURE THE BRAND’S COMMUNICATI ON. THEY STOP IT FALLING PREY TO MASS REPRODUCTION AND INSTEAD OFFER ENDLESS CREATIVE POSSIBILITIES IN KEEPING WITH THE BRAND’S IDENTITY.
Paris Aéroport - Communication
Through its identity symbols used in communications and airport terminals, Paris Aéroport accompanies travellers throughout their journey, via different media and airports spaces. These fundamentals create a smooth experience for travellers and allow the brand to communicate in a powerful and consistent way. To guide this communication, guarantee its consistency and unleash its creativity, all while drawing inspiration from our brand’s very essence, three elements of style have been defined: rays, sleek designs, and vibrance. When used together and applied to our fundamentals, they constitute the core of Paris Aéroport’s style.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
Rays
Rays shining outward are the guiding principle of our brand’s communication. These joyful, dynamic and outward-looking rays remain by travellers’ sides throughout their journey. They can be interpreted in flat tint, in relief or in depth, giving way to a vast potential for creativity.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
Sleek designs
Our uncompromising desire for elegance is visible in a style that favours sleekness and injects vitality into our communications. The use of white in particular offers breathing space and a backdrop that go hand in hand with the application of our fundamentals.
Vibrance
Personified, vibrant, and never rigid, our style knows how to play with its fundamentals to introduce changes in perspective and cause ruptures that set the tone of its communications. Flexibility is key.
Paris Aéroport - Communication
Logotype
THE NAME
We have created a new name for our traveller brand. Shorter and in the singular form, this name better represents a real brand. By inverting the terms, it is easier for our international clientele to read but still proudly shows our French roots. What’s more, Paris is given its rightful place: in front!
THE SYMBOL
The Eiffel Tower is everlasting and emblematic of France. Placed above the name, it symbolises everything we are: landing runways for airlines and Parisian elegance that radiates out across the world. This bright and powerful expression has an irrefutable impact on both our target audience and our competitors.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
THE SLOGAN
It’s more than just a slogan, it is a declaration of love for travellers. And, above all, it is a promise that sums up our ambition to serve and welcome travellers by providing personalised attention, setting demanding standards for our teams, and offering irreproachable quality, to ultimately provide an experience that’s worthy of the most beautiful city in the world.
PARIS AÉROPORT
PARIS VOUS AIME
Paris Aéroport - Communication
Rays
The rays are a key element in the Paris Aéroport brand’s communication. With a central place in our logo, they set the tone for our singular, significant phraseology.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
FAR-REACHING RAYS
The power of these rays lies in their ability to evoke a reaction. Symbolic of the Eiffel Tower, runways, or even jet streams in the sky, they are the most evocative elements in our range of discourse. They can appear in relief or in depth, and in a range of materials.
GUIDING RAYS
Both a point of reference and a beacon, the rays guide travellers throughout their journey. They symbolise both the notion of taking flight and elegance, thus representing our business and Paris’s g lobal radiance. The open design really draws attention to our brand and puts it in full focus.
VERSATILE RAYS
Flexible and inspiring, Paris Aéroport’s rays can be used in a multitude of ways and adapted to all of our communication media.
Paris Aéroport - Communication
Colour
Vibrant and dynamic, the Paris Aéroport brand comes in a variety of colours from our own range, and assists travellers in a consistent and reassuring setting that is immediately recognisable.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
THE MAIN COLOURS
Paris Aéroport has taken a unique and modern take on France’s iconic colours. The blue, orangey red and white immediately set the tone through our logo and on all of our communication media. White is systematically used to offer a breath of fresh air and the touch of elegance that characterises the brand.
THE SECONDARY COLOURS
The secondary colours add energy and warmth to the main palette, and further enrich the brand’s communications. They are grey, green and blue, moving towards softer, warmer tones.
Paris Aéroport - Communication
Typeface
The Paris Aéroport brand also expresses itself through words, both in airport terminals and on the communication materials it offers. Integrated into our graphics, these words guide travellers through their tone and a special typeface.
GOTHAM
Gotham is our brand’s main typeface. It is used in all types of text, in the main body, titles and excerpts (excluding office and digital texts). Powerful and exacting, this typeface can be used in various versions and bold type, giving our brand the flexibility it needs, while offering a basic consistency. This sans serif typeface (meaning without small strokes) is understated and provides a timeless modernity that reflects Paris Aéroport’s essence.

Sleek drawings
The sleek drawings designed for the Paris Aéroport brand complete and enrich its communications, creating a coherent graphic style that is unique to Paris Aéroport.
FRENCH TOUCH
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
THE FRENCH TOUCH
The French Touch is an additional typeface. This original creation was specially designed with Paris Aéroport in mind. It reinterprets a typeface from the 1930s, giving it a modern touch and paying tribute to our Parisian identity.
PICTOGRAPHS
Paris Aéroport’s pictographic style helps with brand recognition. Our pictographs offer a clear presence that is useful and reassuring for travellers. It highlights our range of services without replacing the usual directional signage in airports. They are easy to identify thanks to their unique graphic style which plays on two thicknesses, open lines and rounded edges. These pictographs are part of a family that is destined to grow.
Paris Aéroport - Communication
Shapes
The range of Paris Aéroport shapes is intended to embellish our terminals and our places for communication. They enrich our graphic style by adding movement.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
THE CREST
Our crest is made up of two elements: the symbol from the logo and the diamond shape. This compact crest adds subtle elegance to our presence and can be used to punctuate communications throughout terminals.
THE DIAMOND AND DIAGONAL LINES
The diamond is the structuring component of our crest and its main purpose is to provide information, point out a partnership or inform travellers of services available to them. It can also be used as a bullet point. The lines are a nod to the brand’s r ays and create a certain harmony. Used as bullet points, bookmarks or paragraph breaks, they make text, page numbers, excerpts and lists more dynamic. They are also used in Paris Aéroport’s cultural communication to highlight partnerships or add to the design of an exhibition.
In Paris, every answer comes with a smile.
Paris has been waiting for you. Paris rests on love and gifts. Paris is built on love and fresh water. In Paris, we know how to relax. Paris will never forget you.
In Paris, music warms hearts. In Paris, you don’t sleep, you dream. In Paris, you don’t eat, you savour. In Paris, we like the beautiful game. Even in Paris, we like to get away.

In Paris, every answer comes with a smile. Paris has its eyes wide open. In Paris, even work is a pleasure. In Paris, everything is breathtaking. In Paris, art is life.
Paris Aéroport - Communication
Language
Paris Aéroport has its own language that it uses for all its travellers, to guide them throughout their journey, from start to finish. This language is always meaningful and emphasises the brand’s desire to be present, to listen and to assist.
PRAGMATIC AND STRAIGHTFORWARD LANGUAGE
Smooth travel is a priority for passengers. As such, our communications are as simple as possible to ensure travellers have easy access to information. From welcome messages and descriptions of services to advertising, our language must always be straightforward and pragmatic.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
FRIENDLY LANGUAGE
Paris Aéroport also relies on friendly language to create a feeling of complicity with travellers. Like a little wink to travellers, the brand uses anecdotes, proverbs and wit inspired by Paris to show that, like the city, it has a cheeky side.

PARIS AÉROPORT ANSWERED IN 10 QUESTIONS
YOU NOW HAVE ALL THE KEYS TO DEVELOPING YOUR CREATIVITY
WITHIN THE PARIS AÉROPORT WORLD. TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR DAILY CONTACT WITH THE BRAND AND TO EXPLAIN ELEMENTS
WHICH MAY NOT YET BE VERY CLEAR, WE HAVE PREPARED A FEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Which of these brands should you use:
Paris Aéroport or Groupe ADP?
Paris Aéroport is our traveller brand. It is used exclusively with customers to promote the hub as well as our services and commercial offering. There is therefore no reason why it should appear in any individual correspondence material or corporate communication tools.
Groupe ADP is our group brand. It is used to communicate on behalf of the group to our stakeholders: shareholders, employees, airlines, corporations, etc. This brand features on business cards and correspondence, including e-mails.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
For more information, please refer to the guide for using the company name and brands, which is available on the intranet and in the Brand Center.
In which cases can the Paris Aéroport logo be used on its own?
And when should it be used with the slogan?
The logo can be used on its own on all brand communication materials.
For B2C advertising highlighting services for travellers, use the version incorporating the slogan.
In terminals, should I follow the signage charter
or use the Paris Aéroport branding?
There are two possibilities: when guiding travellers in the terminals, use the signage charter when welcoming, serving or giving information to travellers, use the Paris Aéroport branding.
Under no circumstances should the two charters be used
together on a single communication tool.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
What are the colours of
Paris-Aéroport-branded materials?
The Paris Aéroport colour palette comes from the logo and is made up of three colours: blue, orangey red, and white. These “main” colours are meant to reflect the colours of France. The orange from the previous charter has been updated with hints of red for a fresh, modern touch,
while the white is a colour in its own right, adding a “high quality” feel.
Why put so many blank, “breathing” spaces
on our communication materials?
Our Paris Aéroport documents do indeed feature a lot of white, but this in no way represents emptiness. It offers the safe space our materials need to project the brand while providing clarity, simplicity and elegance. Don’t hesitate to use it but be sure to maintain a good balance.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
How should the Paris Aéroport logo be used?
Branding doesn’t necessarily mean displaying the Paris Aéroport logo everywhere. It is to be used in specific cases, which have been clearly set out in our charters.
The logo is to be used in the following cases: in advertising communications, on our websites, our mobile application, our loyalty programme, our brochures and posters in our terminals: on greeting totems, in event and exhibition areas, in the magazine and on its support; it is used in association with our service offers and promotional content on digital screens; it “endorses” our local communications and renovation signs.
What is the best use for the rays?
The rays are a key element of our new visual identity. You can use it as a border for your publications, to embellish a wall in our terminals, or even inside a shape or as part of a font.
Remember that other shapes make up the Paris Aéroport brand’s style and enhance these rays.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
When should the crest be used?
The crest features the symbol of the Groupe ADP and Paris Aéroport logotypes. It structures the communications of our brands, particularly in terminal buildings. It should be used in constrained areas or those delimited by a Tensabarrier®. Specific situations in which it can be used are mentioned in the charters covering the different communication materials.
How and when should pictographs
be used?
The style of our pictographs is elegant and exacting, much like our brands’ communications, and thus helps in identifying them. When informing or guiding travellers, use signage pictographs. Favour the use of French Touch pictographs when the brand is giving information about services, our publications and digital tools.
THE LITTLE BRAND BOOK
When using pictographs, also use the main dark blue colour and our orangey red from our colour palette. Useful tip: pictographs can also be reversed out in white.
Who can I turn to if I’m unsure of something
or have a question?
Don’t hesitate to ask the opinion of experts on the matter. To do this, contact the Brand Management teams in the Communications Division. They are there to help you.

I have integrated at least one Parisian element into my material: • this should not be a stereotype of Paris but must instead be something unexpected to surprise travellers • it must reinterpret at least one of the four traits associated with Paris: elegance, boldness, the mixing of genres and embodiment.
I have adopted a sufficiently sleek and simple style in my material(s).
My project illustrates at least one of the five traveller commitments.
