My wife and I are connecting through CDG on our way to Athens. On our return, we are going to connect through CDG again but stay in Paris for a few days. I figure since the attire will be completely different, why not pack a seperate carry-on bag for my wife and I and leave it in CDG while we travel the Greek Islands? Can anyone recommend how to do that? We%26#39;ll be arriving 8:10am from Miami 5/18 at Aerogare 2 Terminal E and departing for Athens at 9:35am out of gate CDG 2 Terminal D.

I am sure it won%26#39;t be easy or it%26#39;s not possible at all because at the CDG some years ago there was an explosion and they finished with all the locking places for packages. So, it would be better to carry everything with you. Sorry.

There is a private baggage service with a presence at several of the terminals at CDG, Bagages du Monde. That%26#39;s the good news. The bad news is that it is quite expensive and operates a more or less 9 to 5 schedule which might not work for when you are coming back from Greece. The other thing is that you have a pretty tight connection as it is so probably no time to deal with the dumping of your extra bag(s). (The good news here is that it is not far from 2E to 2D.)
Bottom line is that you would probably be best to carry your other bag along with you. Sorry about that. Perhaps you could leave it somewhere in Athens?
Have a great trip anyway!

I found Baggage du Monde on the web. What if I dropped the bag off on my way out and had them deliver it to my hotel in Paris? I can ask my hotel to hold the bag for 9 days.

I gave you their web address so it shouldn%26#39;t have been too difficult to find them. :-)
I don%26#39;t suppose there is anything inherently wrong with what you suggest if your hotel is willing to hold your bag. The problem as i see it is that you already have a pretty tight connection as i said. I don%26#39;t know how far out of your way you would have to go to find B du M at CDG. (You could use the Paris airports site www.aeroportsdeparis.fr to locate their offices if the B du M web site is not specific enough.)
I certainly wouldn%26#39;t do it if they wanted any kind of pre-payment. Push comes to shove would you rather make your connection or get rid of the bag? That is a choice you may well have to make at the end of the day...

There is baggage storage at Athens Airport so I%26#39;ll check it through to there. That way time is not an issue. Thank you all for your help!
