I have a connecting flight through CDG, and it's only a 2 hour layover. I hope it's enough, lol... I'm gonna do my best to understand the airport from RUclips videos, so that when the clock is ticking, I have better odds than going in blind. I typically just travel with a single carry-on backpack. But might do a checked bag since there's a free one included in my ticket.
Detroit -> Paris -> Bucharest.
Super valuable information. Thanks
Super ! Super !
Note: There is cross-platform interchange from RER B (Southbound) to RER A (Eastbound) at Chatelet Les Halles, so it is very easy to head to Gare de Lyon, Nation, etc. on the RER. Similarly with RER A (Westbound) and RER B (Northbound). Going to other RER lines is still easy, but does involve two escalators and a little bit of walking. Changing to the Metro is much less easy.
Extremely helpful video
Thank you so much for this 💖
Thanks Les Frenches! My my first time through Charles De Gauall was quite interesting. Honestly, I'm quite sure the language had a lot to do with my experience, had my French been just a little bit more proficient, my Charles De Gaull experience would have been much more smoother, but now I know.
You both pointed out a major point at the top of the video, "GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF TIME" It's super important that traveller's do so, especially if you don't speak the native language (french)
I arrived on time at the airport, but I think the mistake I made was, I got so loss into navigating my way to my gate, that I forgot to do my "tax refund" at the airport immediately upon arrival. Point black, I just didn't want to miss my flight. Needless to say I was livid when I realized that I didn't do my refund. I mean I had already gotten passed customs and border, and of course I was told I could no longer do it. Wait for this, I found an (Refund booth) not too far from the American Airline waiting area. I walked up to the agent, (politely greeted her 'Bonjour'. She asked to see my passport, then she goes, but you don't have a certain stamp, that you're supposed to have, you get that when you arrived at the airport" I nod my head in sheer disappointment, as here I'm with an over $200 of tax refund, that I was so looking forward to smh
I then walked back to the waiting area, and sat down in an attempt to calm my frustration. Whilst waiting I met a fellow American, dressed in her uniform; she works for American Airline, and so I explained my situation to her, she said don't worry, you do have option you know, take the refund paper work that you were given by the merchant, and when you arrived in New York, take it to the French consultate in Manhattan, and they should be able to process it for you. I still haven't done so, but I'm planning on doing so, as soon as my busy schedule permits me to so. I was told that I have three months to do it.
Another thing that annoyed me a bit, was the shuttle. We had to take it to the arrival gate, in order to be processed by Customs upon our arrival in Paris. I thought it was just too much, and so primitive, and especially given the fact the weather was warm too, and forget it if you're dressed fall/winter like, you'll be sweating for sure smh
I took the Metro to the airport when I was Ieaving. I paid 10.50💶; again, a very smooth ride from the center of Paris. I got off at Gare de Nord (on the local Metro), and then opted on to the B, where routes it directly to the Airport. Travellers do want to be careful which side of the platform to take the "B" from, as one can easily get loss, and find their way on the wrong side, which of course could cause you to missed your flight ✈️
Nonetheless, I love Paris! Beautiful culture, stunning architecture, and overall great people. I have to visit again!! Paris should be on everyone's bucket list 🥰
Merci beaucoup! This is a brilliant video. How long before a flight in Europe would you suggest arriving at CDG?
what time does the CDG security open in the morning??? 5am? I cannot find this information anywhere?
Anyone know of they have a post office inside the airport? If so where? Or near by?
I want to know would i most likely fly into terminal 2 coming from Manchester because my connecting flight will be in one of the 2 terminals
951 Karson Wells
thank you for this, So If I am leaving from terminal 2, Gate L45 I would take a shuttle to L and go through security over there, not in the main terminal?
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Thank you
BIG REMINDER: Not all RER B trains go to CDG. We were about to board a train on B track when a kind gentleman saw we had suitcases and realized we were going to CDG. He told us the train pulling in wasn't going there. Check the front of the locomotive to see the destination. You could get screwed. This happened during morning rush hour. They didn't mention Terminal 3 which is where we landed from Canada. You have short walk to the main terminal building to catch the trains into Paris and the reverse when you're leaving. Otherwise this vid has great info.
RER B do not go to departure terminal 2E?pl guide me as i am to arrive at Paris ORLY and catch my return flight by Kuwait Airways from CDG airport.kindly suggest me all transportation modes to CDG airport from ORLY airport. regards
@jatinkumardesai583 there is the Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV station near terminal 2E. I looked it up when we started planning our trip. You just have to look at the destination sign in front of the train to see the mission. Those that go to CDG starts with E (ex.: EPOI, EROC, ERTE, EPLA, etc). From CDG, the RER B goes to Robinson and St-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse.
I stayed at one of the Airport Hotels just for one night prior to my departure...can thoroughly recommend it...takes away the stress of travel on the day and also the staff at the hotel can help with Airport related questions.
Is the non-European traveller clearly marked? .I do not want to make this time costing mistake because many signs in Paris are French only.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Thank you, our experience at CDG was excellent, we sailed through all lines very quickly with no problems. Thanks to your video I knew which stop to use for the train. I’ve waited in much longer lines in my local airport of Edmonton Alberta Canada, so this was all a happy surprise. Thank you for all of your valuable information.
Just went through this. Baggage check was very fast, passport control took a very long time, security check was fairly quick.
Great video! I am considering a solo trip to Paris at the end of February and navigating a large airport can be daunting ( my local airport is tiny). I live in an area that is almost 100% car centric so utilizing public transportation can often be a little overwhelming when one isn’t used to it. I’ve been watching all your videos for ideas.
Be warned, it’s not easy getting around
For my Paris visit (next year, at the earliest), I've already begun preparing, especially the Metro. Might I suggest Googling the various Metro lines that you'll think you'll use (probably Line 1 the most), then print out just that line so you can focus on all the stops on that line. I've done this for Line 1 and will probably do at least one or two more lines, including transfer stations to know where I need to change lines.
If you want to take a taxi to or from the airport, do you have to make a reservation in advance?
no you don't
Two more tips:
a) If you're planning to get to the airport via train, check online ahead of time before heading to the train terminal to make sure there isn't a rail strike that day. (I assume the same applies to buses.) There are websites you can check for news of upcoming strikes; WORLDINPARIS is one of them. Also, when there is a rail strike, demand for taxis naturally goes up so it may take longer to get one. Transportation strikes are much more common in France than in the u.s. so be prepared; we got zapped unexpectedly with this one on our first trip to Paris.
b) Another transport option: some hotels offer shuttle transportation to CDG -- pricier than some other options, but also hassle-free. You may need to reserve ahead of time rather than on the morning of your departure.
That's excellent advice!
I somewhat agree about the hotel shuttle. However, my wife and I took this option and advised the hotel we needed to be at CDG at least two hours before departure (pre-Covid days). All good, the arrived promptly…and then preceded in the opposite direction, picking up another traveler in a far distant arrondissement. Yes, we made the flight, but only via the thinnest enamel veneer of our teeth. Since then it has been RER all the he way.
CDG looks a nightmare! Looks very stressful to check in. When I was in Los Angeles it took me 10-15 minutes to check in and go through security so American Airports appear to run more efficient than European airports
The very best tip I can offer is to stay at the Peninsula Paris, they have a very special arrangement with CDG that gets you from your hotel room door to the gate of your plane with close to nothing to do yourself, and chauffeured in a little buggy the whole way
Could you share how much that cost you, including the room please?
Just one method of getting to CDG you did not mention is by local bus 350, costs only €2.10 - with a standard RATP t+ ticket leaves from Porte de la Chapelle which can be reached by other buses or tram on the same ticket. This is a really bargain option if you a have lots of time or are planning to stay the night at the airport.
Thank you food videos
I have a 9h connexion in CDG, from 11:30am to 9pm, and I was considering going for a walk in the city and lunch.
Your videos are really amazing.
Don’t forget to take a little extra money, and save a little extra time. Because this airport has the best stores to shop at in the universe!! 😂👍
Could you please do a video on getting to/from Orly? It was a lot cheaper for us than flying to CDG.
Is there a video on Orly? TIA!🙌
Hi there! Wanted to check with you on the booking of the conciergerie. We gotten a email with a word doc asking us to manually fill up credit card details plus CVV number, save and send it back to them. Is this something that you did as well? Pardon me but this way of doing things feels a little.. unsafe 😅 wanted to clarify before we commit.
This is a fantastic and informative video. It really helps to see where things are in the airport through a video, especially for those that are directionally challenged and experience a lot of anxiety while traveling. I look forward to seeing your future videos.
I really appreciated all of your videos. It helped me get ready for our trip to Paris last month. I will say, please reconsider recommending the VIP service at CDG. It was a complete waste of money and took more time. We didn’t get any priority access to any special lines. We were dropped off at the lounge (that I had access to anyways) and were left before our flight to find our own way to the gate. We almost missed our flight. The whole experience was very disappointing.
For me personally I just pay for a private driver or Uber. I normally have large suitcases and it’s just too stressful for me to try to get them on and off the subway.
Thank you for this. I wish I'd seen it a month ago when I was in Paris. I was so confused with the process. I wanted to pull my hair out. 😂
Quick question. Can i use my navigo easy card from CDG to paris on the RER. Last time we went to paris i drove down. This time we are flying.
I'm glad you added the last part about having to take a bus out to the plane. We were on a large jet to JFK so I was surprised we did not depart directly from the gate. We had the added stress that I could pulled aside for a random security check at the gate and they told my husband to continue on to the plane. The group who was pulled aside boarded last, he'd been on the plane for an hour not knowing where I was.
Fantastic video with very important realistic time estimates!
For me, I take the Metro/RER to CDG - but that's because I know where all the escalators are and how to avoid the stairs being I have at least two bags with me (one rolling bag, one carryon), and where a backup elevator option is if the escalators aren't working. They usually are, especially if they are in the Metro stations that connect to the RER, but there's still a chance. I usually do a test run through the Metro to the RER station the day before, to check if there's any repairs going on, just in case. If you decide to take this option, you may want to consider how dependent you'll be on escalators or elevators first. It can be a great option! 🙂
If you fly out of Terminal 1, Where is the detaxe refund area? Thank you.
CDG is one of the worst airport in the world, especially the TSA workers there are super strict w/liquids and rude.
Tip #11: Hotels from the Accor group (Novotel, Ibis Style, Mercure...) will usually be cheaper if booking directly instead of via Booking.
Thanks for another informative video. We will be arriving and departing at terminal 2E, good to know about the different concourse. We usually get to the airport 3 hours before our flight because we like to take our time to eat and browse shops (pick up a book to read) and not rush to go to the gate. Looks like we might need more time when departing from CDG.
Is the security line at CDG terminal 2G busy?
Much as I love Paris, when it comes time to get to CDG there is only one rule in our family: you can never be there too early
Also if you are coming to or from Disneyland Paris, There is also a Magical Express Shuttle which goes from the parks, disney hotels and disney partner hotels to both paris airports.
Hey thank you for your video!
I have a 5.5hr connection CDG, from 12:30am to 6pm, and it seems that i wont be able to go anywhere from the airport, bec i don't want to miss my flight :(.
In November 2019, I had boarded a bus from Gare De Lyon to CDG airport terminal 2. The ticket cost me 20 euros 💶
When international flights like Delta Air arrive at the (CDG) Airport, does the airport allow passengers to depart from both the Front and Rear exists of the plane.
Yes, allow plenty of time! It's better to sit at the gate then hyperventilate in the security line hoping to make it.
Flown twice thru CDG and had the worst experience of my life. After that I always fly to LHR and then take the trains.
This video brought back my PTSD! Just kidding. We have done quite a bit of traveling to France and the UK in our time and CDG is one of my least favorite airports. In most instances we have departing flights to the east coast in the late morning so we will always try to get a room at the Ibis. Fairly decent place that is just off the CDGVAL line. In September we had an afternoon flight (2PM) and I thought I was going to be slick and leave early and drive over from Bayeux. This was a very stressful drive my 3 hour buffer was cut to just making it to the check in with minutes to spare. There was a crash on the A1 which had us divert to the A3 and you guessed it the traffic was a total cluster. I'm sure we will never try that again and just get a room at the airport.
Cheers!

Do you have to take a covid test to get on board? Do you have to be vaxxed? Can you bring a sandwich on board?
Last October departing France through CDG was chaos. I have never experienced such long and unmanaged lines. Arrived more than 3 hours early and barely had time for a pit stop before boarding began. And this was before non-US citizens were allowed to travel to the States.
So when I was flying home two weeks ago (and I always fly out around 10:30 AM), I gave myself a full 4 hours. That meant I had to take one of the first RER trains. I was so worried. Shouldn’t have been. No lines. Not even at passport control, where last year I stood in line for over an hour. And security was a breeze. I arrived at an almost empty Concourse M with two hours to kill before boarding started. I could actually sit and calmly enjoy my last breakfast in France.
Back home, I read about long lines later the same week. This is a wordy way of saying that you just never know. Give yourself plenty of time to relieve the stress.
3 hour early? 5-6 hours if you are a family. Almost lost my flight because of baggage issues and we came 3 hours earlier. Another time because of passport issues.
Could anyone provide a link to three concierge services at CDG?
Can someone tell me how to get from CDG terminal 2E to 2F?
Bon jour, Les Frenchies! I found your channel a couple months ago and have watched all your videos.
We are visiting Paris for a week in December, staying in St. Germain, and so your previous video felt like it was made just for us! We will depart CDG December 25 to fly back to the US. Will all transport options from hotels to CVG be available on Christmas? Will stores and restaurants be open in Terminal E on Christmas?
I love your videos, and can't wait to see what you show us next! Merci, Ann
Thank you!! Do you think you can do a video how to travel to La Seine Musicale on metro train?
What they never tell you is how rude and lazy lazy lazy are the bureaucrats are at cdg. I would say they are the worst bureaucrats on the planet.
Hi Antoine and Colleen. Is there a free Wifi at the CDG airport?
Wondering why passengers have to enter the airplane from the tarmac vs a covered hallway that is the same level as the plane. That would not be ideal if it was raining/snowing. Great info! Thank you!
All I want is to meet my girlfriend not to meet a maze 😭
No, I fly from Terminal 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You failed to mention that the food options, once you are at the terminal area, SUCKS! you would think France would have incredible dining options at CDG but if you want more than a sandwich you are out of luck.
Terminal 2 just for USA People 😢
As we will be arriving at CDG, is there a concierge service from the airport to central Paris? Merci.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Merci/Thanks! I'll look for them.
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
how many hours before your flight do you recommend arriving at the airport?
The best channel I found so far on everything I need on travelling to Paris. Thank you for the awesome information
I will be saving this one to watch again when we book our trip. Thank you!
I am actually doing some preplaning prior to our trip at the end of the year. Our flight in to Paris from Florence drops us off at Terminal 2F with only a little above an hour to reach our connecting flight in terminal 2E. We haven't received any gate information yet since it is way to early, but I can across research that we would have to go through passport control again once arriving to CDG. Any advice will be greatly appreciated, cheers!
It would not be "once again" for passport control as France and Italy are both Schengen countries, so no passport control for them. You will have to go through security and passport control to get into Terminal 2E (maybe you meant security as "once again" - yep, no connection airside between 2F and 2E so you will have to clear security). I have transferred between 2E and 2F many times. 60 minutes is plenty of time if you are flying Business Class (dedicated lines for both security and passport control), especially if you are leaving from 2E Gate K (add 15 minutes for 2E Gate L or M). Unfortunately, without high Flying Blue or Skyteam status or Business Class, 60 minutes is a VERY poor bet to transfer. I would be surprised if you make it, but good luck. Stranger things have happened.
Hi are the going to grill me on how much money I have ?
Ok thank you because my friend is worried they won't let me in to see him
What is baggage recording ? I was reading through the VIP concierge. We are planning on coming from the US to Paris for 4-5 days . After that stay in Nice for a week . Then fly back to Paris for a same day flight (without leaving the airport). Most likely we will purchase a round trip ticket from the US to Paris and purchase separate tickets to get to and from Nice . So that means we would have to recheck all of our luggage . Do you have any advice ? How much time should we allow ? We stayed a couple of hours last time at the small terminal airport. It was great for a 5-6 hour layover.
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you.
You're welcome!

Dans cette vidéo j'ai vu Air France 🇫🇷 et son partenaire Delta je les ai trouve les meilleurs entre l'Amérique du Nord et la France.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel You like Air France 🇫🇷 and their partner airline Delta.
Question:
I will arrive at 2F terminal and have flight from 2F the next day. So technically I have very long transfer.
Would it be possible to visit the lounge in departure hall and then exit airport?
When I arrive at 2F, I always take one way staircase to enter departure hall for my flight, but I never noticed if it's possible to exit from departure hall?
I'm staying near Opera this summer and was planning on taking RER A to RER B but now I'm thinking the bus might be an easier way. I love trains tho.
Do you Know if it's easier when you travel from París to Italy?
Never been in Europe. I'm nervous 😮
Once you are here, you won't need to use your passport to go to other countries in the Shengan area (including Italy, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, etc) Is like traveling between states in the US.
I left CDG for a flight home yesterday. That airport is a nightmare. The easiest part was getting there by RER line B. Signage within the airport is poor. It seems like you have to know where to go in order to know where to go. I would highly recommend giving yourself LOTS of time and seriously consider using the concierge service.
I love your videos. You have provided so much information. I'll be there in May. I'm a sexagenarian and traveling alone. I have no idea where to stay. I don't need the luxury apartments or hotels because I'm a big tall guy. I love you too
It’s not a tarmac, it’s an apron!
Excellent points! I learned and used 3 of these while on solo trips to Paris - "on the fly" (pun intended). RER was good but made me anxious about time. I used taxi one time and was okay paying the price (not thrilled but it was a good trade off). The last time in 4Q 2019 I stayed at airport hotel. More expensive but least stress. Your other points (such as being sure you're in the correct line) are good - may seem "obvious" but can easily be missed when you're in such busy CDG. I'm going to review this one again to have the other ways in my memory bank for another time. Thanks.
I will know a lot more next time because of your RUclips channel. I was learning as I go on all previous visits without benefit of your videos. Your shared experiences are fun now, and will be very helpful whenever I get to go to Paris again!
Merci…answered my questions about the train to Terminal 2…
Good to know ❤
Amazing video and thank you for letting us know about the myconciergeservice at CDG :). Your videos are amazing. Do any of your viewers know... for the rates to/from Paris/CDG... are those roundtrip or one way? I'm definitely going to use the concierge for arrival and departure. Your guide (purchased) and your videos have been a huge help us planning our trip. I already have 4 days of our 8 day itinerary planned out :). Merci! So much food! We're so excited!
Great video!
Bonne video! Peux-tu un vidéo sur Orly?
Merci beaucoup to you both. We've watched most of your videos. Truly enjoy . Going back to France in Oct 23
My concierge was a blessing and well worth the money. They took me back and forth from my hotel to the ORG with ease.
We got an Uber to CDG and it cost us 50Euros. We were ripped off in a cab when we arrived. We have also done the train upon arrival on other trips and it was cheaper but not entirely stress free. Upon arrival there are “cabs” that are probably not legitimate cabs. Might be good to know how to get a real cab. Sorry if you already did something on that.
I took Les Halles to Charles Du Gaul 4 hours ahead of time by train
Thank you making these informative videos. My first trip to Paris and Provence is planned for June. Departing from CDG on a Monday morning, I already have a one night reservation at an airport hotel. I speak zero French and getting to the Delta plane on time sounds daunting. Would a concierge service from an airport hotel really ease my passage through all the various CDG departure steps, lines and checks? I’d gladly pay it to avoid the anxiety ……I think it might ruin my trip. Do you have any recommendations for these services.
Hi guys great vlog. Since having a major surgery I travel as an assisted passenger from check in and it's made my life so much easier your tips are so good it will make things so much easier when I have to go to cdg to collect friends coming to stay. Thank you for all the hard work cheers 😊👩💼
When you say assisted passenger, do you mean assisted by the airline with a wheelchair or something else?
@@lauraguida8482 Yes, I'm a mature age person. I'm assisted by the airline from check in and they take me directly to the gate by any means available to them and this includes priority loading at the gate. I have registered myself with the airlines and confirm these arrangements when making my bookings. They also collect me from the gate upon my arrival and take me all the way through including customs and baggage collection. The downside, no duty free and you can't stop to collect food and drink to take with you. I only fly 2 airlines out of Australia, Virgin and Emirates. I hope this answers your question.
Thank you all your tips, the family will be visiting in December for 10 days and I have been doing my research viewing your tips. Its getting exciting can't wait.
Easier not to go lol
We have an early flight so I booked us a Hotel near the Airport at the Novotel Suites Villpont. We will be in Chantilly so we can have a leisurely last day
Order the Saiint Honore pastry at L'Atelier de Chantilly!
Outstanding video as usual. I'll have to watch it a few times to process all the information. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Great tips for those flying, we're lucky we can use the train to Paris, plus I hate flying. I find the most stressful partnisbthe getting to departure, I'm OK once I sit on the train...its like Allez On Y Va
I would also like to mention that when my husband and I arrived this past June we had a 3 hour wait at customs with maybe close to 1000 people, maybe more. No one wearing masks hardly and that was VERY stressful. Not much better when we came back to the US almost a month later. Customs has become a nightmare!
I just arrived back two days ago from Paris, so I HIGHLY suggest Getting Global Entry in the US. I by passed the customs crowd by going through Global Entry Diplomat to a kiosk which overall took me 5minutes through customs.
@@graymatters2 Will do. Thanks for the tip
As always, very helpful and useful information. Mahalo!
There are few casinos in Paris, can you do a video review for those? much appreciated!
Just to add…we recently connected from Nice and was put a shuttle after deplaning to Terminal E which can take a little time. I just suggest to be mindful of the unexpected experiences at CDG when booking connections as well.
