Just curious if any recent non EU travelers, since Friday April 10, can report their experience getting through the EES gates at CDG? I know it all depends on whether the computers crash and that can happen at any time, but I'm wondering if all systems are working how long is the line? We're arriving from Boston tomorrow Tues 4/14 at 10am. One of us is an EU citizen, the other is not so will ...
We will arrive at CDG from IAD at 11:15am via Air France. We will start our vacation in the Loire Valley that same day (staying in Amboise). I plan to take a train to Tours (probably Saint-Pierre-des-Corps) and then rent a car to drive to Amboise to stay.

We take a taxi from CDG to Paris at least twice a year and one of our destinations is very distant and I am sure a money loser for the cab (deep in the 13th) and we have never had a quibble about the price. but if someone tries to add fees, yes, get out and go back to the dispatcher and report him and get a different cab.
In Paris at CDG airport, they have had the machines in place for months, but have yet to use them. But I understand that we are still in the roll-out / optional portion of the EES and it only becomes required everywhere something like April if I remember correctly.- so it WILL be fully in place by the time you travel.
