Retail
A great way to kick back during long delays is through some retail therapy, something easy to take care of with how much diverse merchandise there is. Make sure you feel your best by grabbing fragrances and cosmetics at Buy Paris Duty Free as well as soothing skin-care products at L’Occitane. For specialty souvenirs, pick up something unique from either Air de Paris or Partir (Relay), while those interested in wines and tobacco should resort back to Buy Paris Duty Free. But above all, the biggest staple in the airport is also the biggest staple of Paris: fashion - find fine looks from Dior, Gucci and Prada as well as relaxed golf gear from Lacoste and colorful handbags at Michael Kors. Additional shops include electronics and gadgets from Fnac as well as savory confections from La Maison du Chocolat.

Ensure you’ve got a meal to look forward to at the end of your shopping spree, whether it’s an early-morning bite that includes baked goods from Paul and French-style coffee at Cafe Eiffel, or speedy lunch options that include sandwiches & salads from Brioche Doree as well as take-away French from Frenchy’s. Other quick-serve options include various fast food restaurants like McDonald’s and Starbucks, plus the healthy alternatives at Naked. For something more upscale, choose between a handful of full-service restaurants that include seafood at both Caviar House and Petrossian, as well as relaxed tea rooms and dinner at Laduree.
