We were told to taxi to Runway 26R via B and E hold short at E5 hold short point. We turned short of E; instead turned on F; once on F we admitted making a mistake and Ground directed to Runway 26R by alternate taxi directions. All 3 pilots had out the abbreviated taxi chart for the N side complex which didn't show B on tuning to the [east] and then turning south to connect to E. Our charts were truncated. We knew LFPG Ground has the habit of abbreviating their taxi clearances and leaving out taxiways. We talked about this; upon coming to F it was assumed we needed to turn here. While we were on B I questioned the First Officer and Relief First Officer about the taxi directions and we all agreed we needed to turn on F; wrong assumption. Added to this was the First Officer's insistence we needed to turn on F. We finally turned on F and I stopped the aircraft and the First Officer urged me to continue. Needless to say there were some words in the cockpit; and I demanded taxi verification. Ground told us we turned on the wrong taxiway; but then directed us straight ahead for alternate taxi directions. Upon stopping the aircraft and getting clarification we heard the First Officer say 'my bad.' Part of the issue was the First Officer insistence he knew what was always going on; it was borderline arrogance and poor pilot not flying skills.First; get clarification from Ground Control as to what's really expected. I asked the First Officer to do this but he didn't; instead he coaxed me into continuing. It was a leadership issue. Upon turning on the wrong taxiway; I stopped the aircraft felt something was wrong; you think! and asked for clarification. Upon the First Officer urging me to continue; I raised my voice said; NO; CALL GROUND CONTROL; which he finally did and now he realized he caused some of the problems. This issue about the First Officer extended to all he does; from radio calls; to flying the aircraft. I picked up on this early on; but failed to exert my authority and stop his actions. Ultimately; it was all my fault because I didn't handle a passive aggressive First Officer.
MD11 Captain reports a taxiway incursion at LFPG due to a First Officer that claimed to know the route and using the north side taxi chart which does not show Taxiway B turning south to connect to E.
