Beautiful chaos of a transfer

Camille D.TransitTerminal T2
Pros

Some of the terminal architecture is genuinely lovely and the cafes serve a proper croissant.

Cons

Connecting between terminals is confusing and the signage doesn't always help.

Charles de Gaulle can be bewildering if you have to change terminals, and I spent a nervous stretch trying to figure out which shuttle I needed. Once you settle in, there's a certain charm and the food leans reliably French. Just don't assume a short connection here will be stress-free.
