Near T1 security, this Tabac Presse is your last-minute stop
Right after you pass through security in Terminal T1, Tabac Presse covers the basics: newspapers, magazines, cigarettes, and standard travel odds and ends. It runs typical daytime airport hours, roughly first departures to last, so early EasyJet and Air France flyers usually find it open. Think of it as the airport version of a French street tabac, shrunk down to fit one corner of the terminal.
Expect regular French high-street pricing on newspapers and magazines, with airport markups more obvious on snacks and accessories. You can grab national titles like Le Monde or L’Équipe, plus some international press, though English-language stock gets thin later in the day. Smoking products follow local rules, and selection is adequate rather than deep. Don’t count on premium cigars or rare brands here.
Stationery and basics sit near the counter: lighters, pens, small notebooks, and a few phone accessories that cover last‑minute needs better than the nearby duty free. Payment is standard card-first French style, and contactless works fine, including international cards. Queues tend to flare around the 07:00–09:00 wave, when T1’s Schengen departures bunch up, then drop off sharply by midday.
Plan one simple move: if you want a specific paper or English magazine, buy it here right after security in T1 instead of waiting for whatever your gate area news rack happens to have left.
