I didn%26#39;t think there was a direct TGV from Roissy to Normandy, but I think I recall reading posters here mentioning it. If that route exists, could someone fill me in?
Thanks!

Hi Les -
There are a FEW direct TGVs from CDG to Rennes but getting voyages-sncf.com to divulge any info about them is painfully difficult. Perhaps someone else has the timetable readily available. If not, and if you are having difficulty finding them, give another shout and I%26#39;ll see what I can find for you.

I have one of my French friends from Brittany trying to figure it out as well...insane! She swears she has taken the train to Brittany from CDG but can%26#39;t remember how.
|||
These are the trains departing CDG arriving Rennes according to bahn.de:
08:40 arr. 11:33 TGV5209
13:38 arr. 16:26 TGV5226
15:42 arr. 1836 TGV5232
18:24 arr. 21:25 TGV5236
Another way to finesse this and avoid Montparnasse would be to take the RER B out to Massy-Palaiseau in Zone 4 (beyond Antony) and then take a TGV from Massy to Rennes. I know this is possible but I don%26#39;t know how well it would work in practice.
Hah!!! I just figured out how to get SNCF to divulge this timetable! You MUST use AEROPORT CDG 2 TGV as your departure station exactly as I typed it. If you use ROISSY you will not find these trains. Incidentally PREMs fares to Rennes are 25€ in 2nd, 45€-52€ in 1st; full fare in 2nd is 55€70.

Thank you Irish! Just what I needed! And thanks for the tip, too!!

There are no direct trains from CDG to Normandy. They leave from St Lazare station. Easiest way from CDG to St Lazare is by Roissybus to Auber. If you don%26#39;t have much luggage you can walk it it 5 minutes, otherwise it%26#39;s 2 stops by bus. But where do yo want to go in Normandy? Rennes is in Brittany, not Normandy.

you amaze me...........I must have imagined the train I took from CDG to Le Mans, which continues to Rennes, which is as close to Normandy as the TGV goes :)
The SNCF site has had yet another redesign, but I can get it to show the 5 trains a day that Irish mentioned. I can%26#39;t get it to show the times though.
Irish
isnt the DB site great? when you have a really slow day, see if you can find a journey you CANT take.........

The SNCF site showed them for me. I put Roissy as my departure, rennes as my destination and selected the direct travel tick box. Showed me all 4 trains right away.

Tradeform,
I teach college French and lived for many years in France, so no worries, I know the difference between Brittany and Normandy. I was simply inquiring about trains that go from CDG to Normandy, and maybe even Brittany since it%26#39;s close.
Thanks for everyone else%26#39;s input.
