I went to Paris in 2019 and flew from terminal 2C I think (if that's the one EasyJet fly from). Pretty much every single escalator and travelator appears to have been modernised or replaced since then.

There was a video Kone just put out a week ago where they installed 56 escalators in a single new station in Paris, due to open later this month - that's just outside the main games venues area. It's incredible the amount of investment hosting the games seems to generate...
