Hello Group,

In May 2026, we're flying Air France from Istanbul to Miami, with a layover at CDG. At this time, that layover is 7 hours. Although that could change, hopefully to less time, we land in Paris at 7AM and depart for Miami at 2PM.

I am asking whether it's possible to leave the airport and get to the Champs-Élysées for lunch? Maps show about an hour each way by taxi, although morning traffic could affect that duration. Any comments on whether it's feasable, and suggestions on how to spend that time, is appreciated. (At worst, we can use the AF lounge at the airport, but wonder whether they'd allow a stay there at this many hours?)

Thank you!
