no edit summary
The autoroute serves the northern suburbs of [[Paris]], including the [[Stade de France]], [[le Bourget]], Paris's [[''Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport|Roissy Charles de Gaulle International Airport]]'', and the [[parc Astérix]]. From there it crosses [[Picardie]], without directly passing through any of the major cities of the ''région''. Throughout Picardie, the A1 runs parallel to the [[''LGV Nord]]''.
Around 120 km (75 miles) from Paris, between the towns of [[Amiens]] and [[Saint-Quentin]] and near the ''aire de service d'Assevillers'' (the largest motorway plaza in Europe), the A1 crosses over the [[A29 autoroute(France)|A29]]. A few dozen kilometers further north it forms the southern terminus of the [[A2 autoroute(France)|A2]], which branches off towards [[Brussels]]. The A1 is also crossed by the [[A26 autoroute(France)|A26]] and the [[A21 autoroute|A21]], and it makes up part of [[E-road network|'''European routes]] ''' [[European route E15|E15]], [[European route E17|E17]], and [[European route E19|E19]]. At its northern terminus, the A1 turns into the [[A25 autoroute(France)|A25]].
