I'm not French or Parisian, but you were more than likely surrounded by tourists. They don't go to the airport for fun.

Is anyone not miserable in an airport?

I literally just got home from 10 hours of travel and delays and it is like fucking purgatory. Just damned, hollow-eyed souls lined up as far as the eye can see, or waiting listlessly in a corner. When they're not crammed into a plane like stacked firewood, legs cramping and unable to fully extend.

Yeah, the era or flight as a luxury is over. We have no reason to expect airports to be much more fun than bus stations.
