Where Can I Buy A SIM Card At CDG?
Am traveling to Paris next week and will need a cell phone. I always hear people saying all you need to do is get a SIM card at your destination, pop it in your phone, and you're set. But I don't know where to get it. Do they sell it at the airport? Is it really as simple as they say it is? I have an iPhone 5C. Thank you

No clue about CDG, but assuming your phone is unlocked and can accept outside sims, there are many options for pre-paid sims in France.
Bigger companies like Orange or SFR(Vodafone) all offer pre-paid plans maybe not so cheap, while smaller enterprises such as Lebara (http://www.lebara.fr/) offer deals like unlimited 10-days for EUR10 domestic national plans.

This is somewhat unrelated but vodafone sold its shares in SFR back to Vivendi 3-4 years ago I think, and Vivendi sold SFR to Numéricable in April and it just needs to pass the authorities' ok.
For b777a340fan, there's also Bouygues Telecom which is a big operator. If you're flying in on Air France, and your phone is unlocked and you can just pop a SIM in (I don't have an iPhone 5c so I don't know!) you can try the Relay (that's a store name) that's outside baggage claim at 2E. Once you walk out and keep going straight there's a small stand. That's where I always get my recharge cards from, so they might also have sim cards. If not the simplest might be to go to one of the telecoms' stores.
