CDG Airport Layout Guide

Quick answer

CDG has three terminal areas: Terminal 1, Terminal 2 (halls 2A–2G) and Terminal 3, linked by the free CDGVAL metro. Within Terminal 2, you can walk between halls 2A–2D; halls 2E, 2F and 2G connect by walking route or shuttle.

Here is the layout that answers travelers’ questions — every element links to a detailed page on this site. For zoomable maps of every level, use the official Paris Aéroport terminals map:
