Paris-CDG has three terminals : Terminal 1, Terminal 2 (which includes sub-terminals 2A to 2G), and Terminal 3.

Your transfer process depends on your arrival and departure terminals.
If your inbound flight arrives at the same terminal from which you’re departing, you can walk directly to your gate – or take the transit train within Terminal 2E.
If your next flight departs from a different terminal, you will need to transfer either on foot, by shuttle bus or via the CDGVAL shuttle train.
