Apparently, the fastest and most conomical way to make the trip is taking the TGV from CDG to Lille and then taking a bus to Brugges. Here's a link from Rome 2 Rio. I hope this helps.

There are high-speed French National Railroad (SNCF) trains from the airport to Brussels, where you change to a local train to Brugges. It takes 1:35 to Brussels, and the local train is included in the ticket price. See sncf.com, the Belguim train web site, or one trainblu for your ticket. That's how we did it. I'm very surprised this option doesn't show up on rome2rio, which is usually accurate. Trains for Brussels from CDG leave every hour or every two hours.

Info from Rome2Rio is indeed wrong. Train is the usual and best option like Bets says, so highspeed train from CDG to Brussels and from there intercity train to Bruges (or in Flemish Brugge not Brugges). Seats in highspeed trains are reserved and as sooner you can book the cheaper the ticket will be.

I'll add that the local train from Brussels to Brugge is quite frequent and unreserved. It can be crowded, especially at rush hour. It stops at all three downtown Brussels stops. You might find a Thalys train via Antwerp, which would also be okay-there are plenty of trains to Brugge through Antwerp.

Use Google Maps to locate your hotel in Brugge. You might need the local bus.

Also note that some of the destination boards at Brussels stations will only show the final destination of the train - for Brugge you probably want a train to Ostende or Knokke.
