Rouen to CDG

Posted by (Richmond, VA) on

Hello all,

The thread below about early morning transit to CDG is making me a little nervous about my own plans. Apologies for the slight overlap.

I am an American flying from Paris to Helsinki on a Sunday this July. My flight is on Air France (operated by Finn Air) and leaves at 15:25. My plan is to take the 8:45 TGV from Rouen -Rive-Droite (I will not have a car), change at Massy Palaiseau (roughly 15 minutes), and then take the 10:37 RER to CDG--due in at 11:40. This will give me just under four hours. Is this a reasonable time frame for a inter-European flight?

Thanks!

"Is this a reasonable time frame for a inter-European flight?" Yes, you should try to be at the airport about2 hours before the flight and your plan gives you just about a two-hour buffer for train delays. I have never been delayed more than 60 minutes on a train in France but that is not to say that you could not experience a longer delay or even a cancellation but generally speaking, you should be okay.
