In airport LFPG, runways 27R and 26R are strictly parallel.

You'll often get consecutively numbered runways that are parallel if there's already a C/L/R on that heading.

For example, DFW has 17L, 17C, 17R, 18L and 18R all with the same magnetic heading (176/356). Everything really is bigger in Texas. :)
