Days changed back again, so I went for it.

We landed bang on time, but unfortunately waited 20 minutes while they tried to get the jet bridge working and then disembarked from the rear doors down stairs and across the tarmac to the jetway, where there were two checks - ground staff checking all pax were disembarking at Paris and then surete, I guess checking for asylum seekers ditching their passports.

Upshot was that I wasn't in the terminal proper until T-30, but with some moderate jogging and an 'excusez-moi' at the security checkpoint (no immigration/emigration) I made it back to the gate by T-21, and on board fine.

If the jetbridge had worked I would have been first off and had time for a quick slurp of noodles in the lounge!
