No registration required — connect and browse immediately.

France sits inside the EU's single roaming zone, so an EU-wide eSIM (or a French carrier eSIM from Orange/SFR/Free) will outperform terminal wifi for anything beyond checking email — useful given coverage on the tram and in Old Town is inconsistent once you leave the airport.

Insider tip

Free wifi is available terminal-wide with no paid tier to upsell you into, but confirm the exact network name on the splash page before joining — expect the signal to thin out in the shopping concourse compared to the gate areas.

WiFi network names and session limits change frequently. Verify current details at the airport information desk or official website.
