I'm going to London and then Paris. So I was wondering can I just do the VAT refund when I just arrive at the Paris airport (CDG)?

B/c I know I'm just going to spent the most of in London and Paris its just going to be food/ cheap souvenirs. Also, for the reason that I did not account for how much time the VAT refund line may take and I already booked when my hotel car will pick me up to depart back home. Including, all the websites I checked they keep telling me that I should go do my VAT refund before I leave Europe.Therefore, it would to appreciated if I got an answer.

Non. Pas de remboursement de la TVA angleterre en france… Mais il y a aussi un bureau de remboursement de la TVA / un point de détaxe situé aux Galeries Lafayette… Bien. Alors, bon shopping aux Galeries Lafayette Haussmann, Paris!

If you are just spending your money on food and souvenirs, you are not entitled to any VAT refund!

EDIT: You can collect VAT before leaving Paris - if that is your last stop in the EU. And you are advised to have all goods with you when you collect.
