Narrative:

After landing runway 27L in cdg, aircraft cleared high speed taxi which led directly into carrier's ramp. Another carrier was towing a B747 from a hangar on the only inbound taxiway which led to carrier's ramp. Cdg ground control instructed me to turn right on taxiway B. There were 2 cross txwys -- taxiway B and taxiway D. Both were marked (not clearly) no turns to widebody transport aircraft. However, ground instructed us to turn onto taxiway B. While attempting this turn, rfo pointed out turn marked illegal on commercial charts, however, aircraft already in the turn. Oversteared aircraft as much as possible, but 2 outboard wheels of right truck received slight mud on tires, no damage! This is at the end of 2 international legs and 12 hour 30 min duty period which began at XA00. The B747 questioned ground control while being towed as to where we were going, and ground control informed them not to worry, we were turning right on taxiway B -- further leading us into the illegal turn. Cdg ground uses multiple languages. Txwys are poorly marked and many are one way, yet cdg ground may send you wrong way on 1-WAY.
