How to travel from Paris CDG airport to Lorraine ?

Question

hi

my flight arrival to paris is at 1.00pm and i have to catch a TGV at 1.50 is it possible to catch by overcoming all the immigration problems if i miss the train what are options to reach lorraine?

Answer 1

Even if the TGV is leaving from the station at CDG it will be very difficult. If you are cathcing a train from one of the stations in the city then it is simply impossible and you need to make new plans.

I am not sure what "immigration problems" you might have. If you simply mean getting thru the passport control then this alone can take a great deal of time as lines are often very long.

If you mean that you do not have a proper visa then the situation is impossible.

Answer 2

Hello,

I think it's gona be short for you to get your train.

Specially because the airport is outside of Paris in the north and you will need some time to get to the train station.

Anyway you can try in the train station to exchange your ticket or take a new ticket and take an other train, the train is really well developed in France so it shouldn't be any problems.

Answer 3

Immigration at CDG is notoriously slow, and 50 mins is not long enough to get through immigration, pick up your bags and get to the CDG TGV station.  That's assuming your train leaves from the airport.  Most go from Paris, so you also need time to get into the city.

It would be safer to allow at least 2 hours to get a train from CDG, and 3 to 4 hours if you need to get to a Paris station.

Where in Lorraine are you travelling too?
