Right after security in Terminal 2, Relay is your basics stop
Just past security in Terminal 2, Relay covers the essentials before you hit the Schengen gates. You’ll see the red sign near the main fork toward the 20–39 gate area. It’s a small footprint, more kiosk than supermarket, so think grab-and-go rather than a full shop-around.
Relay in T2 leans hard on magazines, paperbacks, and French newspapers, with English titles from around €8–€15. You’ll usually find international press like Le Monde, Financial Times, and UK tabloids stacked up by the entrance. If you forgot a guidebook for the Côte d’Azur, this is one of the few spots airside that still stocks them.
Snacks run from single chocolate bars at about €2 to multipacks closer to €6, with bottled water and soft drinks around €3–€4. There’s a small wall of travel-size toiletries and chargers; generic Lightning and USB‑C cables sit around the €15 mark, with basic power banks a bit higher. Coffee is limited to bottled and canned options, not a barista setup.
Because NCE Terminal 2 security can spike to 25–30 minutes in peaks, Relay is handy for a quick stop when you don’t have time to backtrack to larger shops near gates A01–A03. Stock turns over quickly in summer, so expect some gaps on phone accessories late in the day. Tip: buy water here after security instead of landside; it saves you re-surrendering bottles at the checkpoint.
