Here is the direct link to Landing Gear's explanation of where to buy Mobicarte at CDG. Someone later said the mini-market is called Petit Casino.

Wonder if it's related to the Casino supermarket chain throughout France.

I'm flying into Nice on 7/8 and will probably try to find Carrefour down there, if I get a SIM at all -- it's only for a 5-day stay.

But I've flown AF a lot and probably will many times, even if just connecting through CDG. But I never go into Terminal 2A at CDG, usually 2E and 2F.

The MVNOs appear to undercut Orange and SFR but Orange stores are everywhere.
