Charles de Gaulle International Airport Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Paris-Charles de Gaulle’s hub footprint is a wide, spread-out campus built around a long Terminal 2 “spine,” with Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 sitting apart and linked by CDGVAL. The key orientation is west–east: the Terminal 2 complex stretches along the TGV/RER station core, while 2G sits as a remote outpost on the far edge. Most connection stress concentrates within Paris’s main Roissy airport grounds inside Terminal 2’s discontinuous halls and satellites.

Charles de Gaulle International Airport Map Strategy
- Treat Terminal 2 as multiple buildings: plan transfers by the exact hall label (2E K vs 2E L vs 2E M vs 2F vs 2G), not by “Terminal 2” alone.
- Make the 2E ↔ 2G link a bus problem: identify the N2 shuttle boarding point early, memorize the hall-dependent pathing, and keep a landside fallback route in mind if the airside shuttle fails.
- Budget for stacked chokepoints: route planning must place passport control and transfer security on the timeline, because one missed corridor choice can add re-screening.
- Use map anchors, not vibes: move from named landmarks (LISA station entrances, “Transfers/Correspondances” corridors, checkpoint positions) rather than following generic “Connecting flights” flow.

In 2025, CDG’s hub operations remain centered on Terminal 2, with 2B/2D now functioning as a fused zone, Terminal 1 modernized for higher-throughput screening, and Terminal 2E continuing to run as a multi-hall satellite system (K/L/M) via LISA. Border-processing pressure is shaped by the EU biometric EES rollout, and wayfinding is being prepared for the 2027 terminal renaming program.

What is the exact airside location of the Terminal 2E → Terminal 2G shuttle/bus boarding point (landmark + level)?
The Terminal 2E → Terminal 2G airside shuttle boards at the N2 “Terminal 2G Shuttle / Navette 2G” bus gate inside Terminal 2F on the departures (airside) level, at the far end of the F concourse near the last pier gates (commonly signed around the F50–F56 area).
From 2E, stay in “Correspondances / Transfers” routing and follow signs for Terminal 2F, then for “2G / Navette.” The boarding doors are not a curbside stop; they’re a controlled airside bus-gate entry with queue lanes and staff at the concourse end, typically adjacent to the last set of gates and away from the central retail zone. If you reach the main 2F shopping spine again, you’ve drifted back toward the middle and need to re-follow “2G / Shuttle.”
What is the exact walking distance from 2E Hall L gates to the 2E → 2G shuttle boarding point?
Walking distance is roughly 1.4–1.7 km end-to-end from 2E Hall L gates to the 2G shuttle bus gate (inside 2F), typically 18–25 minutes of motion time plus any LISA wait.
| Segment | Landmark anchors | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Hall L gate area → LISA station | Hall L concourse → LISA entrance/escalators | 200–350 m |
| LISA ride | Hall L platform → 2E main terminal station | 0 m walking |
| 2E station → 2E/2F connector | 2E main concourse → “Correspondances / Transfers” to 2F | 250–400 m |
| Into 2F → shuttle end of concourse | 2F main spine → far-end gates area (around F50–F56) | 700–950 m |
Where is the exact passport-control checkpoint you must pass when connecting 2E (non-Schengen arrival) → 2F (Schengen departure)?
Passport control is in the 2E airside transfer corridor to Terminal 2F, positioned immediately before you enter the Schengen-side flow toward 2F gates.
From 2E arrivals, follow the yellow “Correspondances / Transfers” signs for Terminal 2F. The route funnels into a dedicated transfer immigration zone marked “Contrôle de police / Border control,” with PARAFE e-gates and staffed booths in the same bank. This checkpoint sits just before the 2E→2F connector continues onward toward the Schengen departure side; once you clear it, you stay in the transfers channel and continue toward the 2F security re-screening point before reaching the 2F concourse.
Where is the exact transfer-security checkpoint used when connecting 2E → 2F airside (checkpoint name + position)?
Transfer security is the “Filtrage correspondances / Security check – Transfers” checkpoint on the 2E→2F airside connector, placed after Schengen immigration and just before you spill into the 2F departures concourse.
Follow “Correspondances / Transfers” from 2E toward 2F: you first hit the police/border-control bank (PARAFE e-gates + “All passports” booths). Past that, the corridor compresses again into a screening zone with X-ray lanes and body scanners dedicated to connecting passengers, typically signed as “Contrôles de sûreté / Security” for transfers. Once cleared, you exit directly into the 2F airside departures area rather than back to any landside check-in hall, with the 2F retail spine and gate direction boards appearing immediately after the checkpoint.
What is the exact sign text / corridor name you must follow from 2E arrivals to reach the 2D transfer bus pick-up area (without exiting to landside)?
The route is signed “Correspondances / Transfers” toward “Terminal 2D” and then into the airside bus corridor for “Navettes / Shuttle” (often paired with “Terminal 2B/2D” depending on your starting hall).
From 2E arrivals, stay in the yellow transfer stream and follow “Correspondances / Transfers” until the directional boards split by terminal letter. Take the branch for “2D” (not “Sortie / Exit”) and keep following “Navettes / Shuttle” when it appears, because the bus pick-up is treated as a controlled transfer channel rather than a curbside stop. If you see baggage claim, arrivals public hall, or “Sortie,” you’ve left the sterile transfer routing and will be forced into landside detours.
Where is the 2G “bus gate” waiting area located relative to the 2G main concourse (distance + direction)?
The 2G bus-gate waiting area sits at the far end of the 2G departures concourse, about 150–250 meters (2–4 minutes) from the central seating/retail core, reached by walking straight to the concourse end under “Embarquement par bus / Bus” signage.
From the main 2G lounge, orient off the central departures screens and seating zone, then continue in the same direction past the last numbered gate doors toward the apron-facing end. The space changes from open lounge seating to a more queue-laned holding pen with controlled doors for bus boarding, typically staffed during boarding waves. If you’re back near the main café/retail cluster, you’re still in the middle and need to keep pushing to the concourse terminus.
Where is the landside/public shuttle or bus stop used to get from Terminal 2G to Terminal 2E when the airside shuttle isn’t running?
The landside Terminal 2G shuttle stop is on the public curb directly outside 2G Departures, in the signed “Navette 2G / Shuttle” bus bay.
Exit to landside from 2G and follow “Sortie / Exit” to the departures curb; the stop is marked with a bus pictogram and “2G Shuttle / Navette 2G” signage, separate from the taxi line. Ride the shuttle to Terminal 2F (public departures curb), enter 2F, then follow indoor landside signs for Terminal 2E via the covered connectors through the Terminal 2 complex. Once you reach 2E and go back airside, expect full security screening (and passport control if your routing requires it).
Where is the exact station/entrance for the internal people-mover between 2E Halls (K/L/M), and which hall has the most direct access?
The LISA people-mover station entrances are inside Terminal 2E airside, reached from each hall’s main concourse by following “LISA / Trains” signs to escalators down to the platform level.
Hall K has the most direct access because the LISA interface is integrated into the 2E main building concourse, where transfer routing and wayfinding converge before you branch to the remote satellites. In Hall L and Hall M, the entrance is still airside but typically involves walking from the gate pier back toward the hall’s central shopping/transfer node, then taking escalators/lifts down to the LISA platform that returns you to Hall K’s main 2E junction.
Where is the SkyPriority / fast-track security entrance in 2E Hall L, relative to the standard security entrance?
The SkyPriority fast-track entrance in 2E Hall L is in the same security screening zone as the standard lanes, positioned to one side as a dedicated access channel immediately before the main X-ray lanes.
From the Hall L concourse, follow “Contrôles de sûreté / Security” toward the screening entrance and look for SkyPriority branding and lane signage at the front of the queueing area. The fast-track feed typically sits adjacent to—rather than separated from—the standard entrance, so the key tell is the split in queue barriers: one channel marked SkyPriority (or equivalent priority wording) and the broader bank of general lanes beside it. If you’re already committed deep into the general zig-zag queue, you’ve passed the fast-track merge point and need to exit back to the lane-selection mouth.
Where is the in-terminal baggage re-check / bag drop point for connecting passengers in Terminal 2E (exact zone/counter area)?
The connecting bag re-check point in Terminal 2E is in the public departures/check-in hall of 2E (landside), grouped with the Air France/KLM bag-drop islands rather than inside the airside gate concourse.
If you must collect bags and re-check (for separate tickets or airline rules), you exit into the 2E landside departures level and head to the Air France check-in area where “Dépôt bagages / Bag drop” is signed above the self-service and staffed counters. The re-check function is handled at the same bag-drop banks used for origin passengers, so the practical anchor is the main 2E check-in island zone (under the large departures boards) rather than any “Transfers” corridor. Once re-checked, you return to the standard departures security entry for your hall (K/L/M routing).
Where are the “All passports” immigration lanes located in Terminal 2E, relative to the PARAFE/e-gates entrance?
The “All passports” lanes sit immediately beside the PARAFE e-gates in the same 2E immigration bank, typically as staffed booth queues parallel to the e-gate entry.
On the approach to border control, you’ll see the PARAFE/e-gates presented as a distinct, fenced entry channel with eligibility signage. The “Tous passeports / All passports” option is the adjacent staffed queue feeding traditional control desks, usually on the opposite side of the same central divider. If you stand facing the control area from the transfer corridor, the e-gates are one clearly marked lane set, and the “All passports” lanes are the neighboring, wider queue that accepts everyone (including those not eligible for PARAFE), without requiring you to backtrack to another hall.
Which exact airside corridor connects 2E → 2F while staying “Transfers/Correspondances” (entry point + first major landmark)?
The 2E→2F airside link is the “Correspondances / Transfers – Terminal 2F” connector entered from 2E arrivals/transfer routing in the main 2E concourse, with the first major landmark being the 2E transfer immigration bank (PARAFE e-gates + “All passports” booths).
From 2E, follow the yellow “Correspondances / Transfers” stream until you see the terminal split boards; take the branch explicitly marked “Terminal 2F.” The corridor narrows into controlled processing before you ever reach 2F: first the police/border-control zone (PARAFE on one side, staffed booths on the other), then the transfer security screening further along. Only after clearing both do you emerge into the 2F departures concourse, where the 2F retail spine and gate-direction screens confirm you stayed airside.
Where is the nearest staffed help desk/transfer information point to the 2E → 2G transfer route (exact location on the path)?
The nearest staffed help point is the Air France / transfer assistance desk in the 2E airside transfer junction near the LISA interface, before you commit toward 2F and the “2G / Navette” routing.
On the 2E→2G path, the most reliable place to find staffed guidance is the main 2E transfer node where flows split to Hall K/L/M and onward to Terminal 2F. This is the decision point with the densest signage (“Correspondances / Transfers,” hall letters, and terminal directions) and the highest concentration of airline staff managing misconnections. Use it to confirm your hall letter and whether you must route via 2F for the N2 shuttle; once you’ve walked deep into 2F toward the far-end shuttle bus gate, staffing becomes more gate-wave dependent and less consistently “information desk” oriented.
