Inoui at CDG Paris

[auburnfive]

Hello,
Looking at options to get to le Puy.
It looks like there is a direct fast train from CDG airport to Lyon using TGV Inoui. Has anyone taken this? It seems too easy. Is the train station right at the airport?
And what is the best site to book train tickets for France? Thank you

Yes would seem correct to me checking on my SNCF app! I always use the app to book the trains in France, but I wouldn't know if there are cheaper options via other websites. The app is very good and convenient though.

Thanks for this! I'm just now starting to look at transport (I'm starting in Geneva, but may go to Lyon first for a few days, seems like it might be more interesting to recover from time zone change than Geneva), this looks like great option!

Yes ... I have taken the direct train from Paris CDG Terminsl 2 at least four times ... very straightforward and convenient. Buy tickets using SNCF Connect app [SNCF is the national rail company of France] where you will also get real-time updates for your journey to Le Puy ... voilà!

CDG to Gare Montparnasse..TGV to Bayonne, the local train to St Jean. I did this in September, it was all very easy. Additionally might flight arrived at 830am, so I did it all in one day rather than overnighting in CDG..I took an extra day in St Jean to get over the jet lag..

It is…unless someone goes on strike…C'est la vie. Follow the signs at CDG to the TGV.

I would book a hotel near Gare Montparnasse instead of staying near the airport.

My friends and I took the train from CDG directly to Lyon. We had a one hour wait time before the train transfer to Le Puy, so we left the station and walked to a nearby Decathlon located in a shopping mall to purchase hiking poles since the Decathlon in Le Puy was quite a distance from where we were staying.
There were train strikes happening by the time we were needing to go back to CDG to go home, and @JabbaPapa was helpful with suggestions that got us back to the airport on time.
