Quick planning question. SNCF website suggest a TVG to Lorraine and then a 35 minute bus ride as the shortest option, just under 2 hours. I am not new to CDG or the REFB line, but had assumed a connection at L'Gare Est. I am thinking avoiding the REF ride and a straight connection from the airport might be more relaxing after a flight. CDG - REF-Est is 45 mins longer. Anyone familiar with these routes? Or maybe I should add a few nights in Lorraine? Final destination is Metz for a barge trip up the Moselle

It looks like either way, you will need to make a connection. You can take a train from CDG to Lorraine and change to a bus. Or you can travel from CDG to Paris Est and then take a train all the way to Nancy. Were you referring to the RER? It's not the only option to get to Gare de l'Est. You can take a taxi for a flat fee from the airport.
