Gare Aéroport Charles-de-Gaulle 2 TGV

Pretty well laid out and easy to figure out where to go since signage everywhere. Decent food options too

I came from Saint-​Nazaire (on the western coast) on the TGV and had to connect 2 times before arriving to Gare Aéroport Charles-​de-​Gaulle 2 TGV, but even with having to change trains twice (and lug 3 suitcases/​duffel bags on and off), I probably saved 2 – 3 hours compared to driving. The last train change was just about 10 – 15 minutes from CDG and we had a delay, so everyone was a bit antsy and crowding around the door to get off as quickly as possible. This is a poor strategy though, as the pile of people and luggage makes for a difficult time exiting.
Regardless, we all got off and I found that the train station is physically connected to the airport, which was a relief, because there were stations that we got off at where we were out in open air and this morning happened to be the very coldest of the almost 2 weeks I spent in France. It took some walking to get to our terminal but overall, the layout is convenient. Just pay attention to where you are headed and ask questions, if you’re unfamiliar with the airport.
I anticipate making various trips back to France for a long time, where I will visit areas other than Paris (this time, it was to visit AT’s home region of Brittany, which was absolutely beautiful). I am quite sure that there will be future check-​ins at this train station.

If you have a penchant for walking, then you’ll love this airport. If you just ran a marathon through the streets of Paris, you’ll hate every minute of this ass backwards place. When I arrived from JFK to Charles-​de-​Gualle I think my excitement of being in Paris erased my memory of the pain in the ass trek I took to get past border control and to baggage claim. Even after a 45 min trek to a different terminal and through border control I still had to stand around and wait for my bags! Then I had to walk even further to the taxi stand. Oh, beware because they have those sketchy gypsy cabs like at every NYC airport. Even after getting into the cab, it took almost an hour to get to St. Germain de Pres.
Doing this in reverse was an even bigger pain in the ass, having to walk to one side of the airport to check in at Delta, then across to the other side to go through security, to the train, then through another security check point was insane. I was ready to say screw this I’m staying in Paris, which let’s be real… I wanted to stay already.
I felt as if I’d located the damn holy grail by the time I saw my gate! However, the why is the food selection was awful? I mean I stocked up on wine in the duty free store which was great, but if I can buy Lanvin in an airport one would think I could have one last great meal before leaving Paris!

Very easy to come in and out of. Just beware, if you have to wait for a train, go to the Salle Attends. It can get quite chilly in this cement cavern.

This train station, a couple floors below Charles de Gaulle, allows transport from outlying areas, such as Lyon, directly to the airport. This eliminates the need of having to return to Paris and spend an obligatory night before your next day’s international departure. My recent train was delayed by an hour, which caused a great deal of concern to several passengers (especially one who is a pilot), but if you allow a sufficient cushion for delays, the trip should be stress free.

Cette gare TGV est située dans le second terminal de l’aéroport de Roissy.
La plupart des TGV au départ de Lille ou ayant cette destination passent par ici, ce qui est synonyme de vacances !
La gare est propre, lumineuse, à l’abri du froid et des intempéries.
Les accès né sont pas spécialement évidents mais on accède directement à l’aérogare ou aux RER permettant de se rendre à Paris.
