Are you connecting through Orly or DeGaulle? In the 1990s, last time I was there, Orly was tougher to navigate when connections were tight.
I bet in a previous centuries situation was even more complicated.lol
Anyways thanks for trying:)
Actually, it was about the same in the '90s ... I forgot about my last connection through Orly in 2004 ... everything was easy, except for normal French inefficiency, and security was .. ahem .. a joke. On that trip, I entered Europe at Amsterdam, connected to Luxembourg, stayed in Luxembourg, then flew to Hannover through Orly in Paris. The only time I saw a human being at a customs/immigration stations was when I was *leaving* Germany to fly to Novosibirsk. I joked with the German border guard that there was a bit of a difference between Europe and the USA regarding security ... he sighed and said, "Well, its not supposed to be that way." Anyway, although I made all my connections and security was a joke, the Orly connection was tight. It was a 3.5 hour connection. Weather was fine and the plane had no mechanical problems and left Luxembourg on time. For some reason, we were in the air an hour longer than necessary. Couldn't get permission to land, apparently. Then, lines were long and I came close to missing the next puddle jumper to Hannover.
Security probably won't be a problem, but a congested airport in France can easily be a problem.
Good luck. I hope your connections are quick and easy.
