Hi

My family is traveling through CDG on our way to Rome, 1st week of April. Our layover is about 7 hours and we don't want to leave the airport area, as we are returning to visit Paris a few days later. What could we do at the airport, can we pay to access a lounge (we don't have any membership status)? Any good and affordable restaurants near by, we could walk to or take a free shuttle?

Thanks for your help
Julie

You can look at the airport tourist website and find plenty of info about what to do there. Perhaps visit the new mall?

There is on very good restaurant at CDG, Brasserie Flo found in Terminal 2F.

Many airport 'lounges' sell day passes. They can be worth it especially when jet-lagged.

Excellent suggestion! My teenagers love the mall and it gives everyone a choice to eat what they want

Thank you so much!!

Like many airports these days, CdG's home site contains plenty of information including useful maps and discussion of facilities. http://www.aeroportsdeparis.fr/ADP/e...assagers/Home/
