Narrative:
On arrival into lfpg; approximately 5 miles prior to flying the last section of dieppe 4W to 27R via merue intersection; ATC cleared us for the 'merue ILS 27R' approach. The arrival ends at merue with no further instructions. Looked through the entire lfpg arrival and approaches for 27R appendix and were unable to find any 27R approaches (ILS's) with a merue transition. As we got closer to the merue fix; I decided to call ATC to get a clarification. The frequency was very busy at the time and couldn't get through after several tries. Arrival over merue we finally got through and asked ATC for clarification and next fix after merue. They said it was crl so we started a turn towards that and at that time ATC gave us a heading. I then asked them if they had time for a question and they said 'go ahead'. [I] asked them if they could clarify 'merue ILS 27R'. ATC said it was a published standard approach. We continued on the assigned heading with vectors for the ILS 27R approach without further incident.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: B767 flight crew reports that their FMC data base which was checked and current prior to departure; contained no arrivals or approaches for LFPG. The crew also could not find a segment of the arrival procedure which was on a separate chart; necessitating a request for vectors to the ILS.
