I checked the CDG website, along with the Mastercard and Visa websites, and the information is as follows:<BR><BR>1. There is an exchange bureau in each terminal;<BR><BR>2. There are 5 Mastercard ATM machines in terminal 2;<BR><BR>3. There are 3 Visa ATM machines in terminal 2.<BR><BR>No information about Terminal 1, but possibly the ATM machines are specifically owned by banks which is why there isn't any information on the CDG website (I searched on the words cash dispenser and ATM). There should be one or more after you clear customs/immigration. Past experience (although not at CDG) is that there are always ATMs in the baggage claim area.

US Airways arrives at T1, or at least it did last year. I did not look for an ATM last year as I passsed through on my way to Munich. I simply went on to the Lufthansa flight for Munich after clearning immigration and customs.<BR><BR>If the ATM machine is not reliable, I think I will go with my usual plan -- get the minimum amount of euros from my bank before I leave home. I can get a full supply from an ATM in the city. There are several within 350 yards of my hotel.<BR><BR>I had much rather do that than fight my way over to T2. That would be a real pain in the kodonkus.<BR>I suppose I could cash a traveler's check or two at American Express. But if I arrive when the window is closed, I am up the creek for paying cab fare.<BR>

I should have gone on to say that we easily found a cab that accepted credit cards; we also could have exchanged $$ at an exchange booth, but that would have been a last resort! Next time, however, I will go back to getting $50 or so in euro at home.

My experience has been that the ATM machines at CDG aérogare 1 are often "en panne," - out of commission. If they're working, the lines are realy long. I'd bring euros with you - enough to get you into the city to get to a bank or Post Office to get some more.
