My wife and I are going to fly from Paris to Nice. We have a 5 hour layover between the two flights. We%26#39;re flying into CDG airport and were wondering if there was any lockers etc. where we might be able to store our luggage so that we might see a bit of Paris before the next flight.
Also, any suggestions for sightseeing / food near the CDG airport?
Thanks!

5 hours might be awfully tight...
---------
1 hour to land, clear customs/immigration, collect bags etc
1 hour to get to Gare du Nord by RER
1 hour to return to CDG
1.5 hours ahead of flight
---------
4.5 hours So you%26#39;d have 30 minutes to spend in Paris. Sadly, I think you have to stay at the airport. ;^(
On the other hand... the TGV takes 5:30 hours Paris to Nice... you might be better off taking the train over sitting out at the airport between flights...

In a nutshell, if your luggage cannot be checked on to Nice upon your CDG arrival, you really do not have sufficient time to travel into and back from Paris.
Primarily as a security concern, there are no lockers at CDG.

You *might* have a couple of hours to spare. if you can check in early. That would make the baggage storage question moot. The problem is that CDG is out in the middle of nowhere and there really isn%26#39;t anywhere close to amuse yourselves for that short a time. I%26#39;m afraid I come to the same conclusion as the previous posters. Take the train or bring a good book.
There are no lockers at CDG as Sarastro has pointed out. However, in case anybody reading this has the same question, Bagages du Monde operates limited baggage storage at CDG but it is not cheap and not necessarily convenient in terms of their location and hours. http://www.bagagesdumonde.com/

Hey thanks a lot for the suggestions and comments. We%26#39;ve already booked our tickets from Paris to Nice on EasyJet so we can%26#39;t change the plan to a train. I think I%26#39;ll call up EasyJet and see if we can book our stuff in earlier. - wish us good luck!
