CDG to Dijon, one more TGV, at last!
There is already a TGV to Dijon leaving CDG at 19h41 so you hadve to go to Gare de Lyon to take an earlier train, but now (from 5th july 2009) another one has been added at 11h16 (arr 13h18 in Dijon)
To go to CDG there is another train at 17h06 (I'm a bit disappointed with this one I thought it would be around 10/11am ) The 6h32 trains on week days and 7h44 on week ends are still running.

<Merci and i wonder why there are so few CDG-Dijon TGVs?> In 2005 the general manager of SNCF had refused to add a train because they would need it on the TGV Est(50 more trains to the East of France in 2007!) but since then they had a great demand from Dijon business men going to the North West (since there is no flights!)
Pal when I go to London , I try to catch the 7h44 to CDG that also goes to Lille where I take the Eurostar. VERY HANDY!On the way back we have to change from Lille Europe to Lille Flandres station which is 400m away.(maybe not always) No problem at all, and if you have an hour to kill between two trains, there is a huge shopping centre between the two stations
.
I don't know about that new train yet but the early CDG train also stops at Disneyland Paris.
And Stu, it will be a year-round train, isn't it great?
