RER B (suburban train) from Terminal 2 to Gare du Nord takes 30 minutes and costs 8,10€. Two block walk to Gare de l'Est. See mappy.com

Note that some destinations are served by trains directly from CDG. Where are you headed?

Probably RER B from CDG to Gare du Nord and then walk the few blocks to neighboring Gare de l'Est, or do the very short metro transfer between the two stations.

But as the two stations practically touch if you're mobile walking may be quicker.

Merci beacuoup, Robespierre and PalenQ.
To Robespierre: I'm flying into Paris on CDG and taking the TGV to Strasbourg.

Okay, just checking in case there might be a way to avoid going into Paris, but no joy.

For reference: the airport is called "Roissy Aeroport Charles de Gaulle" on the Deutsche Bahn itinerary calculator page: http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en

With the opening of the TGV Est line i read that ultimately there will be trains on that line that go direct to CDG but not with the present schedule starting June 10, 12007

wow, starting in 12007? that IS planning ahead. By then though, I suspect we can just be "beamed" whereever.

(this gentle tease is made by someone fully appear she doesn't proof her writings...)
