Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

CDG is amongst the largest airports in the world not only in terms of traffic, but also surface area, and its multiple disjointed terminals and sheer size may be disorienting. While connections to, from, and via CDG are often attractive, one needs to take extra care not to get lost, and plan in extra time to just cover the distances needed to get to or from the gate.

Terminals

CDG has three terminals. The free CDGVal shuttle train runs between terminals, car parks and train stations.

• Terminal 1The original one, built in the 1970s to serve the intercontinental "jumbo jets" that had just debuted in service. It is notable for its unusual layout and retrofuturistic brutalist design, with a round central section featuring underground travelator connections to seven "satellites" named 1T through 1Z (not used at the airport but used on the guide to talk about the different satellites) to which planes dock via jetways. Nowadays it is used by Star Alliance carriers and some other non-allied airlines.

• Terminal 2The notoriously confusing gigantic one, consisting of interconnected sections named 2A through 2G. Terminal 2G is a separate building from other "Terminals 2x" and is only reachable via navette/bus in 10-15 min (bus leaves every 20 min) so allow extra time if you travel to/from there. Terminal 2 houses all Air France flights, as well as those of other SkyTeam carriers, with some other airlines' gates spread over the many sections. Notably, Easyjet uses terminal 2D.

• Terminal 3The low-cost terminal serving low-fare carriers, including Vueling, but not Easyjet, which has gates in 2D. The CDGVal station shared with Roissypôle requires a walk from the CDGVal station to its entrance, and has limited facilities.

Gare Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV

This is the TGV train station in the middle of the airport's Terminal 2 (between sections 2C/D and 2E/F of the Terminal), where both national and international TGV trains stop. Both the RER B train and CDGVal stop here (both stations shared with Terminal 2).

Roissypôle

The area consisting of hotels and other services situated between the Northern side (Terminal 1 and 3) and Southern side (Terminal 2) of the airport. It has a CDGVal stop shared with Terminal 3, and also has the second of the 2 RER B stops, closer on the way to Paris.

Check with your airline before leaving for the airport.

Terminal 1

Most Star Alliance flights.

Terminal 2

Air France, Air Canada, easyJet, most Skyteam flights, and most OneWorld flights.

Terminal 3

Most low cost carrier flights.

By train to Paris

The RER train line "B" connects CDG airport to central Paris and is the fastest and most economical option for most travelers. The airport has stations in T3 (where you can take the free CDGVAL shuttle train to T1) and T2. Trains to Paris leave every 8 minutes and all stop at Gare du Nord (TGVs to Lille, Eurostar trains to the UK and Thalys trains to Belgium and Holland), Châtelet-Les Halles, Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, Luxembourg, Port-Royal, Denfert-Rochereau and Cité Universitaire. Adult tickets cost €10.3, and for children between 4-9 the fare is €7 each. You can also purchase daily pass for all trains inside Paris for zones 1 to 5 for €17.6, which makes it a better and cheaper option if you're making a round trip.
Tickets are valid for connecting travel to any metro or RER station within Paris. The train takes around 35 minutes to Gare du Nord and 45 minutes to Denfert-Rochereau, making this the fastest way to get to the city. Tickets can be purchased either through green (sometimes blue) automated ticket vending machines ("Billetterie Île-de-France") or through the ticket office serviced by transit authority personnel.
The automated ticket machines accept euro coins of €2, €1 and 50, 20, 10, 5 cent denominations and give change. 'Chip & PIN' credit card (typical in Europe and elsewhere) payment is OK on these machines, but cards from the US (or in general have only a magnetic strip or 'chip & signature'), you most likely will not be able to use your card. In the airport stations there are separate automated machines which change €20, €10 and €5 notes to €2 and €1 coins. However, due to the high demand, the machines frequently run out of coins. The currency exchanges explicitly state notes will not be changed for coins. Because of these limitations, purchasing tickets from the ticket office may be your only option. Although there are many counters, the queues can be very long.
Trains for Paris leave from platforms 11 and 12. Look for signs saying "RER B" or "All trains go to Paris". When using the ticket from and to the airport (as with tickets for the RER commuter trains in general) you have to use it to enter and to exit the quay areas. Always keep the ticket handy as the SNCF officials sometimes check for tickets, and if you are without one you may be fined €40. This means that after you put the ticket into the entry gate and are cleared to pass, you must retrieve the ticket from the machine and keep it with you until you leave the train system including any connections.
During off-peak hours and on the weekends, if you're not in a hurry, avoid the trains from the airport heading to Saint Rémy lès Chevreuse: they will stop at all stations between the airport and Paris. Instead, wait a few minutes for a train heading to Massy-Palaiseau, it will be non-stop between the airport and Paris Gare du Nord (but won't overtake the omnibus train). If you're going to the airport, look on the information displays on the platforms: if the next train to Aéroport Charles de Gaulle stops at a dozen of stations, the next one should go to Mitry Claye (don't take that one), and then the following one will be non-stop from Paris Gare du Nord to the airport. But remember, this is only during off-peak hours, as well as all day on the weekends.

By bus to Paris

The Roissybus service (€12.50) connects all terminals directly to Opéra Garnier in central Paris, but it's subject to traffic jams and rush hour, so it averages 60 min but can lasts much longer if the traffic is bad. Mobilis and Ticket jeune tickets are not accepted on this line, but Paris Visite zone 1-5 is accepted.
If you're looking for cheap alternatives, you could take bus number 350 to Porte de la Chapelle (Metro line 12, tram line T3b, 45 minutes) or 351 to Paris Gallieni (Metro line 3, 60 minutes) or Place de la Nation (Metro line 1, 2, 6, 9, RER A, tram lines 3a, 3b, 90 minutes). They require a single T+ ticket per person (€1.90, €1.49 if bought by sets of 10, or €2 if the tickets are purchased on the bus).
Alternatively, even cheaper is the bus Express 93 to Bobigny Pablo Picasso (Metro line 5, 35 minutes): only one ticket t+ is required, you will need another ticket to transfer to Metro line 5 (reaches Gare du Nord in 15 minutes). The bus leaves from "Roissypôle", at the bus station located next to RER B "Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1-3" / CDGVal "Terminal 3 - Roissypôle" station.
The tickets can be purchased at newsstands, at ticket machines, or, for a higher price, inside the bus from the driver and they need to be validated with a device lying next to the driver's seat. Note that you cannot transfer from a bus to the metro or RER, but you can transfer from a bus to a tram or another bus up to 90 minutes after your first validation.
Le Bus Direct (formerly Les Cars Air France) offers two lines going between Paris and CDG with a roughly 1 hour ride, one going to Porte Maillot and Place de l'Étoile (line 2, €17), the other one going to Gare de Lyon and Gare Montparnasse (line 4, €17).
By night, the Noctilien N143 buses serve CDG airport roughly every 30 min between 12am and 5am. In Paris, they stop at Gare de l'Est, Gare du Nord, and Porte de la Chapelle, in CDG they stop in terminals 1, 2F and 3. In You will need either 4 t+ tickets (€8 if bought on board, €7.60 if bought at a machine, €5.80 if bought by pack of 10 at a machine), or a Navigo, Mobilis, Ticket jeune, or Paris Visite, covering zones 1-5.

From Paris to Charles de Gaulle Airport

Be careful when using buses to get to CDG. There are frequent traffic jams on the motorways leading to the airport - the Bus Direct normally may need 50 minutes to get to CDG, but it can take 1½ hours... your best bet for arriving on time with the buses is to take them very early in the morning or during times otherwise when there isn't much traffic.
When you arrive at CDG, you should note what terminal you arrived at (2A, 2D, etc.), because when you come back to the airport to depart at the end of your trip, the RER subway train makes two stops at CDG to cover the three terminals, but there are few indications of which airlines are at which terminals. Have a close look at your air ticket to figure out which terminal you are departing from. Air France and associates leave from Terminal 2E/F/G, most Star Alliance airlines leave from Terminal 1 (excepted Air Canada which leaves from Terminal 2A), most charter and low-costs flights leave from Terminal 3 (easyJet leaves from Terminal 2D). The RER B has the airlines serviced by each terminal on a not so obvious chart posted by the door of the train.

Before Security
Terminals, parking garages, hotels, the RER B stations, and the TGV station are linked by the free CDGVal, an automated people mover train. The train runs every 4 minutes and usually takes about 2 minutes between each stop. At peak hours expect heavy passenger loads.
Terminal 2G is not connected to the main Terminal 2 building. A navette (shuttle bus) connects passengers to and from Terminal 2E. The journey can take 15 to 20 minutes. It is important to allow for extra time if travelling through Terminal 2G.
After Security
Once you have gone through security or have arrived in Paris and need to connect ("correspondances") to another flight, it is very complicated to change terminals. You can walk around terminal 2 (for example from 2A to 2F), but from or to Terminal 1, Terminal 3, or Terminal 2G, you will need to take a bus. These buses can be very crowded and are not practical to use.

Power outlets specifically for charging passengers' laptops/mobiles are widely available throughout the terminals, before and after security.
Plane spotting is limited. Serious photographers interested in exploring the airport grounds must apply for permission at the police préfecture in advance.
Those with layovers longer than 5-6 hours, a quick trip into the city for lunch and a museum or shopping is possible. Passengers with less than 5 hours should only consider visiting if they are experienced travellers or if they know the city well.

All terminals offer options to shop, whether it's a duty free or a store from a French or international brand, Charles de Gaulle airport offers a lot of shopping options for its customers. However it is important to know that once you are near your gate, it is long to get to another terminal. This is due to the sheer size of the terminals and the need to take a bus between the terminals that are detached from others (Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 for example which are detached from the larger Terminal 2, which itself has detached sub-terminals like Terminal 2G).
All terminals and most sub-terminals have at least one duty-free (BuY Paris). These aren't all the same and some will only offer cosmetics, whereas some others will offer a bigger choice.

VAT refund

First, get your boarding pass for your flight out of France. Second have your tax refund papers stamped at the tax refund counter in the main terminal area, before you check in with your airline. Showing goods is signposted as mandatory, usually only required for high priced, marquee items.
To locate the tax refund counter in the terminal, look for the signs or ask any airline employee for directions. Don't be confused by a single line splitting between currency exchange and tax refund office: choose tax refund if you prefer Euros—while currency exchange refunds only in USD or your national currency, both buy at a robbery rate (and with no rollback to the refund window after you realized the rate).
The line can take a long time, expect several minutes per customer. At either office, you can also receive refund for your spouse if you have their passport and refund forms.

Duty-free shopping

There are no shops before security check zone. When you shop in post-security check zone, it's not genuinely tax-free, as you can receive a tax refund for those purchases as well.
Contrary to what one may expect, there is no L'Occitane; cheese is limited to soft sorts (and there are no ripe varietes); wines starts at €11 and some popular sorts like Chinon can't be found; selection of sausages is extremely limited.
There are no mid-range clothes or shoes stores, only luxury brands.

• Roissy, the historic city just outside the airport gates retains its small-town charm, and has several points of interest if you're staying near the airport overnight, or just have a long layover.
• The most obvious place to go to from the airport is Paris, the city it serves.
