    Departures and arrivals: a commute to CDG

    20/04/2026 | 15 mins.
    This recording captures the vibrant atmosphere of a bustling RER B train ride in Paris, bound for Charles de Gaulle airport. The train is filled with a diverse mix of passengers, each with their own story to tell. Some are weary travellers, returning home after a holiday in the City of Light, while others are Parisians embarking on their own adventures. 
    Amidst the crowd, locals commute to work, adding to the rich tapestry of the city's daily rhythm. As the train rumbles through the tunnels, the sounds and murmurs of the passengers create a unique symphony, reflecting the dynamic energy of this iconic city.
    Recorded in Paris, France by Colin Hunter.

About Cities and Memory - remixing the world

Cities and Memory remixes the world, one sound at a time - a global collaboration between artists and sound recordists all over the world. The project presents an amazingly-diverse array of field recordings from all over the world, but also reimagined, recomposed versions of those recordings as we go on a mission to remix the world. What you'll hear in the podcast are our latest sounds - either a field recording from somewhere in the world, or a remixed new composition based solely on those sounds. Each podcast description tells you more about what you're hearing, and where it came from. There are more than 8,000 sounds featured on our sound map, spread over more than 140 countries and territories. The sounds cover parts of the world as diverse as the hubbub of San Francisco’s main station, traditional fishing women’s songs at Lake Turkana, the sound of computer data centres in Birmingham, spiritual temple chanting in New Taipei City or the hum of the vaporetto engines in Venice.
