Yes. Haven't seen a consensus reached anywhere.

ParisbyTrain is not an official site and no telling when it was last updated, so I would take with a grain or two of salt.

The problem is that things are constantly changing. The latest is that you can reload a pass at the kiosk if you already have a Navigo Découverte.
Who knows, tomorrow could be different. If they get enough complaints maybe the powers that be will decide to start selling the ND at the airports again.

Thanks for the link. I was looking for people's experience at CDG over the past couple of weeks.
We're heading to the 7th arr. from CDG. I imagine if I can't grab ND cards at CDG then the next best place is Gare du Nord since its on the way.

Can confirm. Attempted this at the ticket office at CDG this week and was told specifically they.do not sell them.
Further, then bought our Navigo EZ and put RER on it and then tried to also load metro tickets while we were at it. Could. It be done at the machines at CDG, we had to do this after we reached Gare du Nord.
However, if you already have the decouverte set up and have the card, that can be reloaded at CDG. But I can’t confirm

Navigo Découverte cards are not sold at airports.
Navigo Easy cards may not contain airport tickets (13€) and métro/Transilien/RER tickets (2.50€) at the same time.

We're heading to the 7th arr. from CDG.
You may want to consider taking a fixed price taxi from CDG direct to your hotel in the 7th. Using the RER, you will have to change to the Metro at one of the stations, then make at least one other Metro connection to get to the 7th. These connections are usually by stairs and depending on your luggage, may be awkward. Then you most likely have a walk of some distance from the Metro station to your hotel.
You say "we" so that is at least 2 people. The RER plus Metro will cost 26 EUR for 2, where as a fixed price taxi, door to door will cost 65 EUR for up to 4 people.
