Is it always this quiet at CDG on a Saturday?

Hi! Just thought I would mention this.

I got into CDG 2A two days ago (Saturday 23), landed at 4 p.m, and the terminal was just deserted. Passport control, customs, arrivals, departures ....nobody anywhere. I took the AF bus to the Gare de Lyon, nobody on the bus. The bus went first to T1 before heading into Paris and so I got a good view of the apron, airbridges etc. and there were hardly any planes either, it was "sinistre". I noticed the same thing back in September when I arrived on the same flight, also on a Saturday, but this time was even quieter.

I guess that there are busy and less busy times of day, but is Saturday noticeably quieter? Is it normal to be in a sort of ghost town? Not that I am complaining, but it was still weird!
