Can you leave the Paris airport during a layover?

Can I leave Charles de Gaulle Airport during a layover in Paris? YES, except if you are a national of a non-Schengen country and only have an airport transit visa. An airport transit visa allows you to travel through an airport's international zone without entering the country's territory.

Is a 7 hour layover in Paris enough?

With seven hours, you should be able to get into Paris and see the Eiffel Tower if you know exactly where to go and how to get around. It would be tight, though. I wouldn't try to do anything more than that, unless losing your connection would not be a big deal (hourly flights or something like that).

Can I leave at my layover?

Yes, you can leave the airport during domestic layovers. For instance, if you're a US citizen and have a layover within the country, it is legal and safe to leave the airport. Be aware that you'll probably be getting two boarding passes if the domestic layover is more than an hour.
