Thanks for the tip! I was not aware of the second immigration station, and have suffered more than my fair share of CDG's human inverted triangles. But the worst lines in my experience have been on departures trying to get through security into the satellite. Too bad there isn't an alternative method for that!</font>
There is. See above:
"The same trick applies for departures from CDG : you must go through Passport Control to leave France, and there are often crowds at one station and not at the other one half way around the circular terminal."
