How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Charles de Gaulle International Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG/LFPG) the live call is landing 26R+27L+26L, departure 26R+27L with METAR wind 210° @ 9 kt. 26R shows 5.2 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 7.4 kt crosswind from the left. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every LFPG threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
