Firearms through Paris?

[wildwilderness]

I am looking at a flight to Cameroon that will go through Paris-
I saw a few old threads (10+ years) that said it would be possible and fairly easy. Anyone do it recently? Anything I should be aware of? Do you think it would be a problem?

Thanks

No one?

Give it some time, perhaps check in the morning.

That's the problem with asking a specific question about one location, it takes time for those that have the answer to get on the forum

Nearly everyone who has hunted in Cameroon will have flown through Paris because it’s primary route. Ask your outfitter for references and you can ask about their experience or look up Cameroon hunt reports here and PM them. I’ll be flying through Paris to Cameroon in January with firearms. I’m using travel with guns to organize flights. Outfitter recommended same agency they will use to obtain visa in Brussels.

Jacques @JKO HUNTING SAFARIS books hunts in Cameroon in conjunction with our booking agent there in France. The typical itinerary is in fact through Paris as you're finding. As far as I know it's not a problem.

I have never flown through Paris but my friends (Mexicans) have told me it is super easy and easier than flying through the USA

Does anyone know if any license is necessary to transit flight in Paris CDG with firearms ?

I’m on an unusual flight from London to São Paulo with transit to Paris flying with Air France . Follow the procedures notifying AF about firearms requesting all OK.

but regarding French paperwork I couldn’t find anything saying if need or don’t a license.
