It looks like that is the "French Air Passenger Solidarity Tax" according to ITA. It is 4 euro for a coach fare and 40 euro for a J/F fare. I didn't know that the French were also doing this, though it is still miles better than the GBP 80 tax for a J/F ticket leaving the UK. It looks like they added it starting on 30 June 2006.
