If you want do spotting at Paris CDG, you must have a photo permit delivered by authorities.
Personnaly, I've aksed mine more than 1 year ago and I'm still waiting

You can try some photos but police or security services can check if you have this famous permit.
Many more spotters are waiting this permit since a long long time ago. You can try ask permit by sending email in french (recommended, use google translate) to the following address:
spotters [at] interieur.gouv.fr with your ID/Passport copy, home address and some text to explain.
