Phone card in Paris/CDG
Hi!
I'm heading to Paris this spring and need to purchase a phone card. I will need it when I arrive at CDG. Is there a place in the airport I can purchse one? I will need to call the apartment owner when I arrive.
Thanks!
Monica

Go to any of the "Relay" press kiosks and ask for a "carte France Telecom". It's a pre-paid card with a chip that you can use in all FT phone booths in France. Ask for the one with the smallest amount of units ("une petite carte, s'il-vous-plaît" as you won't use it that much I figure. The FT card is not to be confused with the zillion cards with 800 numbers that you use to call French, and mostly foreign numbers, with a pin code you scratch, like in the States.

We purchased one from a kiosk style self-serve at the luggage claim area, right next to the bank of phones. It was a card where you entered a pin number after placing the call so we could use it at hotels for calling ahead to the next hotel or from friends' houses, etc. Sorry, I can't remember the name.
