Arriving and departing flows are segregated in CDG and you won't be allowed to access any departing 2E area when disembarking. You will have to go to 2F for your connection. And don't be too mad about this. You won't miss a lot of you don't have a 15 min facial massage, which you are never sure to have anyway because of the waiting list. Don't plan your trip for that or in function of that. Consider it as a little plus if you can have it. If not, move on.
