Paris CDG Airport Terminal 2 Question

I arrived in Terminal 2A and we had to go down the steps to go out of the plane, get in a bus, then go up a flight of steps, walk across a walk way, then go up another flight of steps to get to imigration once we passed immigration then there was the baggage claim. From baggage claim there is customs, a door way and then the unsecure area of the airport. After all that, I took a cab and paid 50Euros because I thought I was going to die. I was alone and if I had someone meeting me, I would have probably takeing public transport.

It was a year ago for me since I did this so maybe someone has done it more resent.

Thanks for the quick reply. This board is the greatest!

Thanks for the reply Jona, I did study that web page, the diagrams are nice. I still can't quite put it into perspective though. For example it seems it is a multi level terminal, is the baggage claim on the same level are the arrival gates? Also each terminal wing is shown seperately, I'm wondering if there are corridors connecting each? or outside walkways? I have found that the TGV station is on the lowest level but can you access it from 2E or must you go outside. Sorry this seems overly detailed, we'll be tired from traveling though and I'd like to have a sense of the proximity of things. Once again thanks for all the help and replys. Appreciate it!

Nancy,

Yes, the Sheraton is above the TGV station.

Have you checked the maps on www.easycdg.com? See this page: http://tinyurl.com/3yz2lz.
