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
 
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
 
flying through Paris is actually a pretty smooth process,

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.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
