I'm trying to find a central area where 3 individual travelers can meet in Terminal 2. My two girlfriends I arrive at CDG at different times in Terminal 2 (2A, 2E and 2D in that order). Where is the easiest, best place for us to meet up? Can the two of us who arrive earlier get our baggage, go through customs, and meet the last arriver in Terminal 2D at the Starbucks or will we NOT be allowed back in that area of Terminal 2D due to security? Any help is appreciated.

I would plan to meet together on one of the levels of the Gare TGV area. Check out this site for details & picking a location:

Hi Jean!
Thank you for your advice. We're planning to taxi to our apartment in the 7me... I'm the only one who's been to Paris, so I'm trying to find a fairly easy way for all of us to meet up. It looks like eateries (Starbucks) are outside the baggage/customs/immigration areas, so perhaps that would be the easiest... yes? Starbucks in 2D?

Many have suggested in answer to the same question that the Sheraton Hotel in Term. 2 is a good (and comfortable) place to meet. Go to the hotel website and see its location on the map. The hotel is very easy to find.

Starbucks can proliferate in the blink of an eye, both inside and outside of the secure area, so a more unique meeting point like the Sheraton would be easier to find.

This should perhaps be a new thread, but since it is in regard to meeting up with another traveler at
CDG Terminal 2, I am starting here.
I am flying to CDG arriving 3 hours before my travel partner. We are both arriving Delta/AirFrance Terminal 2E.
After collecting my bag and going through customs, where is the closest/easiest place to wait for her? I have
never been to CDG before, won't have cellphone use, and am a little intimidated because of my lack of the French language.
After a 10 hour flight I will be both tired and hungry so a comfortable place to get a little something to eat would be great.
And also, where is the closest Enterprise car rental desk? I've been told there is one in 2E near all the rest, but if so I think it is fairly new?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

Greg, as you come out of 2E, it's a wild crowd scene of reserved taxi and limo drivers blocking the way. Just get past them and out of there, go upstairs to departure level where you'll find some cafes or places to eat. Or head to the Sheraton for breakfast. Again the best place to meet is the Sheraton. I don't know if you'll find a US style breakfast anywhere except the Sheraton. BTW don't look at the prices, just eat and enjoy.

lol...if one must look at the prices, perhaps Paris is not the best place to vacation. : )
I could probably find a comfortable place to wait at the Sheraton...how far is it past exiting 2E? Do I take a shuttle?
oops nevermind...just found the answer.
