Yes. Have done it a few times and just booked again.Thought we'd fly into Lyon, but Paris might make better sense. I see that its about a 6 hour trip from Paris. Anyone with experience on this?
2 and 1/2 hours CDG to Lyon in the best train outside of Japan! (I'm Australian, our trains are 3rd world). But stay a day or two in Lyon, great food! Textile Museum, markets. Yep I have been caught by strikes on the Lyon Le Puy train....and Lyon train station is huge and confusing. The train station at CDG is under the airport, and if you have a voucher you need to change it for a ticket. Just a note that credit cards are far from universally accepted in France.I will being doing the train from Paris early in June, my early AM arrival at CDG gives me plenty of time to make the connection through Gare Lyon. Assuming of course there is no industrial or yellow vest action going on at the time. Some aggrieved workers closed the SNCF down last week between Paris and Bordeaux for a day. C'est la vie.
That's why I gave myself an extra day in Le Puy, the additional cost of a room for a night is worthwhile insurance.
