I am an Indian citizen with valid German student long term resident visa. Can I travel to India and come back through Paris airport? Is there a chance of being denied to board? Prices are cheaper from Paris than from a german airport.

Edit: Sorry that my English is not clear. Yes, I meant I plan to travel to Paris by train and take Paris-Mumbai flight and return to Paris via Mumbai-Paris return flight and come back to Germany via train.

Germany and France are both in the Schengen area. If you have a long-stay visa (or residence permit) that lets you travel to Germany, you can also use that visa to enter or leave the Schengen area in Paris on your way to/from Germany.

In general such a visa also lets you visit the other Schengen countries on the same conditions as visa-free nationals.
