Me and my family we will arrive at CDG airport but our final destination is Rennes . I read that there is a TGV station in Terminal 2 and a friend from Tripadvisor told me that there is connection for sure but i cannot find the the timetables neither on net or in TGV.com
Can someone help me by telling me where i can find these timetables for TGV trains from CDG airoport?
thanks in advance

Try on the SNCF (French railways) website http://www.sncf.com/indexe.htm and click on %26#39;Information Schedule and Booking%26#39;. Your departure station has to be AEROPORT CDG 2 TGV to show the direct trains.
If you want to book Prems tickets, then use MorganB%26#39;s guide: tripadvisor.com/Travel-g187147-c3019/Paris:F…

The timetables are on www.voayges-sncf.com.
Here is what you should enter in the fields in the box:
au départ - aeroport cdg 2 tgv
départ - your departure date, day/month/year - note that the schedule is different because of the current strikes
à partir de - what time you want to leave (24 hour clock)
à destination de - rennes
click %26quot;consulter les horaires%26quot;
The only routes coming up right now are ones that involve ridiculously out of the way connections. For example, the first train takes you from the airport to Lille (close to Belgium), back to Paris, then to Rennes on the other side of the country. If you are traveling soon, I would take the RER line B into Paris and catch a more direct route to Rennes. To see that timetable, replace %26quot;aeroport cdg 2 tgv%26quot; with Paris.

Sometimes its just easier to substitute %26#39;..ROISSY..%26#39; for AEROPORT CDG 2 TGV. For some reason...the SNCF web site sometimes doesn%26#39;t %26#39;..recognize..%26#39; AEROPORT CDG 2 TGV or CDG

takisf--
I don%26#39;t know what%26#39;s going on with the SNCF webiste. I get the same response -- more than 3 connections to Rennes.
BUT I checked the route route on bahn.de (website for German rail and the best overall website for rail details), and it shows weekday
trains (TGV) that depart CDG aeroport Terminal at 15;38, direct to Rennes, arrive at 18:36. I didn%26#39;t look for it, but there should also be a direct TGV that departs around noon.
So I don%26#39;t know why SNCF-voyages says it%26#39;s not there. It could be they%26#39;ve cancelled that route, but I doubt that. So it could also be a problem with the SNCF site.

takisf,
I see your question about prem fares on the previous post, but I%26#39;m replying here to keep it all on one thread.
You can obtain a prem fare (discounted) ticket through the SNCF-voyages site, if you buy the ticket in advance (up to 3 months in advance) and you lock in to a particular train on a specific date. If you do this and order through the SNCF webpage, your fares can be discounted by 25%, even 50% in some cases. A real bargain, if you know you will travel on a certain day (very much as you would with your airline reservation).
It is a little complicated to do this, so for instructions, copy this link to your address bar:
tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g187147-i14-k58793…

I think it%26#39;s a website problem - possibly on strike! I tried using Roissy and CDG as departure points and only came up with the RER to Paris and transfer via Montparnasse. It worked with the full name though.

Thank you all of You I appreciate your effort . Finally I got my timetables maybe the French train site is not so stable .
