I have 9 hours in between flights in Paris. It’s an integrated transfer and as an EU citizen I’m out the airport quite fast.

But how early should I be back for the next flight? Usually it’s 2 hours with luggage but since I only have my hand luggage would 1,5h work in CDG? I have no recollection of how big of a mess CDG is in reality (other than the basic missing luggage) and I am fantastically spoiled in my home country with a modern and organized TSA. I usually go like 60min early…

Now, as for Paris. It’s not my first time in the city and I’ll be arriving at 9am (dep. 6.30am) so no need for basic sightseeing. But I will be tired after waking up at 4am so that kind of restricts the activities.

Are there any affordable spas that would be nice to visit for relaxing? I know about the expensive ones… Was thinking of maybe grabbing some moisturizer etc from this one cheap pharmacy, though it’s in the south part of Paris…

What else would you do for roughly 6 hours? It takes ~1h to travel to and from the center by train.
