Service is included in the prices (by law, i think), so there's no need to tip. However, rounding up to the nearest Euro or leaving an extra one- or two-Euro coin if you were happy with the service is not unheard of, from what I gather. It feels weird at first, but you get used to it quickly.

Cabbies: I'd say round it off, possibly with an extra Euro if he was particularly helpful.

edit for typo

Yes, you are right, it will be difficult to get used to it at first... Its just so odd NOT to leave the tip... Does it matter if its a nice restaurant or not? Also, is there a flat taxi fare from CDG to Paris downtown?
