Which airports offer free internet and wifi? My little selection of links to help you find good deals when traveling.
First of all this list of airports offering free wifi in the world.
In France too, there are some that offer wireless internet access to travelers. Among these French airports "free wifi": Angers, Bordeaux, Pau... And Brittany is not lagging behind, with the airports of Brest, Lannion and Quimper!
I refer you to their list, found on this page of Duck-Wifi (from 2006, to update).
To complete with this little list of international airportson the same site. Internationally, another link to visit: these airport maps with wifi from Jaunted website (link spotted by Marie-JulieThank you!)
For a small overview of the evolution of wifi in French airports, and the strategy of the Irish company Free-Hotspot.comwhich aims to reach 5000 access points across Europe by the end of 2008, I refer you to this July 2008 article from Point.
For the latest news on free wifi in general, you can visit these search results on Duck-Wifi, again.
And for the list of hot-spots wifi in France (free and paid), there is the search engine of L'Internaute.
For my part, I appreciate to find in airports even free internet in self-service, with keyboard and screen, like in the fabulous Changi Airport Singapore. (And I prefer not to dwell on the poor services offered, in comparison, by Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport).
Finally, for those who live in Geneva (Switzerland), a good plan that changes the wifi access in fast-food chains or American-style coffee shops. An address discovered by my sister, a Breton exiled in Switzerland, who had no internet access at home for a few days: the laundry at 49 Prévost-Martin Street, which makes wifi gratos.

PS1. If your comment doesn't appear right away, don't worry: my anti-spam filter (programmed to detect links) may have caught it in its little muscular arms. I'll take care of validating the messages manually.
PS2. The very first site I refer to at the beginning, titled Travel is my Life, Work and Pleasureis a treasure trove of information about air travel. The author, Reem Greiveris an English travel consultant, well versed in the subject!
