Arrival in CDG - Directions to ATM, Museum Pass, Navigo Decouverte?

Posted by on

I realize there have been lots of comments and threads on the use of ATMs in France. And I have taken most to heart - got a CapitalOne 360, set up money transfers between my bank and the card - all works well. However, I will need to get some Euros before we leave CDG, and I have read some ATMs we should stay away from, and others are the ones to go to. I seem to recall we should be looking for the HSBC ATMs? We arrive in terminal 2 (not sure which portion but flying Delta) - does anyone happen to know if there is one they could give me general directions to - near a certain gate?

And then for the Museum and Navigo passes, do I get those outside of customs? Again, any sort of general directions to either booth/kiosk would be very helpful?

Thank you all!

There are two HSBC ATMs in terminal 2 located next to Baggages du Monde or across from the Sheraton Hotel. However, I have no confirmation that the Travelex ATMs charge anything for euro withdrawals from their airport ATMs.

Navigo cards (Découverte) and fares are available at both Roissypôle (on the CDGVAL line) and at terminal 2. Follow the English signs, Paris by rail.

In terminal 2, there are groups of ticket kiosks. Don't stand in lines without checking other kiosk groups.

The Museum pass is available at any museum on its list as well at the Office of Tourism in Paris or at CDG.

After landing, you will be herded through Schengen immigration, then luggage carousel to get your bags, then exit through the "Nothing to Declare" door. Both terminal 2E and 2F there are tourist information desks after exiting where you can buy Museum Pass, maybe a Navigo Decouvert, and an ATM nearby. You can certainly buy a Navigo Decouverte at the RER/TGV station.
