On arrival at Paris Charles-de-Gaulle Airport, how much time do I need to catch a TGV?
The train station is in Terminal 2 of the airport and any arrival there puts you a maximum of 15 minutes easy walking from your point of departure. If you arrive in Terminal 1 count at least 30 minutes because you need to take a shuttle bus. Click here for the airport layout and internal airport shuttles. Certain time parameters are “uncontrollable”. Plane arrival, Customs Clearance, Luggage retrieval. Count about 1 hour for this considering that all goes well… it could be less… or more. So, all told you’d need about 75 – 90 minutes to catch a TGV train at Charles de Gaulle airport after arrival. Please read the answer about ticket exchanges and refunds… in case of difficulty with the delays.
