Milk/products for babies are allowed as long as the quantities you bring with you correspond to what you may need during your journey by plane.

I can confirm. The French never banned milk for babies despite any EU regulations. You don't have to buy it inside the airport. You can buy it anywhere. The worst is they will make you take a sip, but even that is rare. The bad news is that 2E security is the worst at CDG, because of the flights to America. They even confiscated my safety scissors (rounded edges) even though I was flying to an EU destination.

Thanks for the updates.
The baby is only 5 monoths old but doesn't drink that much milk.. it'll be baby food pouches and juice. We'll be erring on the side of extra juice as it's one thirsty baby that makes one heck of a noise if she doesn't get her juice but as it's a 9/10 hour flight I hope they understand that she'll need more than the average baby or it's going to be a very noisy flight

Delta Daily Lounge Pass Access at CDG?
I am traveling to Paris next Thursday economy on Delta and am considering purchasing a lounge day pass. I am hoping to use it in PHL and the AF arrivals lounge at CDG while I wait three hours for a friend to arrive from IAD. Will this be possible? Does anyone have experience doing this, or advice for me? Thanks so much!

From T1, the CDGVAL to the train station is fully wheelchair accessible. There are elevators from the arrival level of T2 to the train level, and other elevators back down to the platform (with a stop in between to get your ticket). From T3 it's a short distance to the T1/T3 RER stop. Follow the signs outside. To get to Orly, there are no steps between the Antony platform and the Orlyval light rail (though you'll probably have buzz to get someone to open the gate). Once in the airport, there are no steps.
(However, be careful if taking the RER into the city of Paris itself. Very few stations have elevators to the street, and connecting to any other line will almost definitely involve stairs.)
But back to CDG-ORY: it's not easy, it's not ideal, but it's not impossible if you have to do it on your own.

One more connect time - I hope this is the right place - SEA-CDG in J, will be arriving (hopefully 835) at Terminal 2F, connecting -CDG-BCN 935 Terminal 2E.
I remember my time connecting from CDG-MRS required passport control and security, is this correct?
Can I make my connection? I am planning carry on luggage.
Thanks,
lala

Flight arriving from US at 11am to T2E and departing to a schengen country at 1225PM from T2B. What do yall think is the best option? This is going to be a crazy connection as the 2 terminal within terminal could not be further away from each other. TIA

Have read through all 58 pages and this is what I've gleaned.
Arriving CVG-CDG in Terminal 2E, CDG to MRS from 2F(1). Should have no problems making a 2:40min connection whether I walk it or take the shuttlebus. Most instructions here say walk it, though both ADP and AF websites say to take the shuttle.
Interesting question from ADP says for "other flights" (as opposed to international flight connections" to go to "entrance 2.04" then take the free ADP Shuttle to 2F. I can find no reference to Entrance 2.04 on any of the maps (interactive or static).
Does the best route depend more on which gate we actually come in on (#28-47 vs. 51-76)? If we arrive at gates 51-76, is it even possible to walk to the Galerie to make the crossover to 2F?)
Anyway, I'm more concerned about the return flight, MRS-CDG-CVG. We only have 90 minutes for that connection. Do we walk it or take the shuttle? AF says to walk it, ADP says to take the shuttle. What does FlyerTalk say?
In both cases, our checked luggage should be checked through to our destinations, but we will have some carry on.

I think door 2.04 means door (porte) number 4 in terminal 2.
As for the choice of shuttle or walking, I think it depends on how fit you are and how fast you walk. I could do it either way myself and make the 90 minute connection. If for some reason you come up to a mile long security line, and time is tight, just politely attempt to move up to the front of the line.

If given the choice, I'd rather walk. That way I can control (somewhat) how quickly I move. Also, I have an (irrational, I'm sure) fear of getting on the wrong shuttle.
