Train from CDG to DLP

[lolalolo86]

Is the info on the fast train in the sticky still current? I would rather get a train than a road transfer if possible.

Its just two adults and small cases and usually use public transport on city breaks.

What is the best way to book it and how much are we talking in May?

Also, the flights we are looking at departs at 10pm from CDG so would be able to get a train back as well or would a transfer be best in this instance?

Never been before so no idea what is best!

Thanks!

You can book your tickets for a specific train - however for arrival that can prove tricky as it is difficult to estimate how long it will take to leave the plane and clear immigration, customs, baggage claim etc and if you miss the train you would need to buy a new ticket anyway.

For the return journey it is easier to predict when you will arrive at the station so you can pre-book the train to save a few euros.

Thank you!

Yes I was wondering that about pre-booking a time for arrival. Can you pay on the day if need be?

Our dates are not out yet but I will have a play around on the site to get the gist of things

For us (2 adults one way) the cheapest way was RS Transports. It was 38 Euros total, cheaper than the ‘magical shuttle’ coach or the TGV.

Yes you can pay on the day - there are ticket machines in the train station - it just costs more than pre-booking.

Thank you both, lots to think about. How long do transfers take on average? If this is easier and cheaper we may consider it.

About 40 minutes from meeting you in arrivals to artiving at your hotel.

The train journey itself is only 10 minutes, but you may have to get to a different terminal first, and then walk from the station to your hotel (assuming onsite).

No brainer for me.

Yes we are onsite at Sequoia Lodge. Thanks Gill, will look into transfers as soon as we book our flights
