I have a similar question regarding visa requirements. I am an Indian passport holder traveling from YYZ to LHR via CDG. Currently I have an 8 hour layover in CDG and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to leave the airport for a few hours to see the city. I have a study permit for Canada which places me under the "temporary resident" category if that makes any difference? Do I need a French visa to leave the airport?
