TGV Reservation Question

We are flying into CDG in Paris the morning of Sept. 12 and would like to take the direct TGV train from the airport to Nice. When I go onto the voyage-sncf.com website, I put in CDG as the departure and Nice as the destination but I keep getting the same message "A Technical Error has occured". Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance for your help.

It doesn't work if you type CDG. Type Roissy and it should work.

Could also try Paris Charles de Gaulle, the official name of the airport train station i believe. Roissy must work as St Cirq is a French train whizz - "Roissy" being the name of a small town by Charles de Gaulle airport and many French refer to the airport as "Roissy" - "Roissy Rail" links Paris to the airport for example.

Roissy definitely works, so does "aeroport CDG" (and then I think a box).

However, I believe the problem is that you cannot get schedules and reservations this far ahead of time (over 90 days), and you often get that error message simply due to that reason, I have found.

I just found out that you cannot book earlier than 60 days prior to travel.

Thanks for your help!
