Services at CDG TGV station, or easy transport to a Grocery/Deli

Posted by (Eastern Iowa, USA) on

I will be arriving at CDG early on a Thursday (6:00 AM) and last minute decided to get a train to Amsterdam for the weekend before a Meeting starts on Monday in Paris. Train does not leave until about noon from Gare CDG. I know I need time to get through Immigration, but will have several hours to fill, and would like to get some decent food and drink for the train trip.

So, several questions....

The map for the SNCF station does not show lockers or a left luggage counter, does anyone know if there are any there?

Restaurants look to be limited outside the security zone of the terminals, maybe some coffee and a pastry and then a sandwich, maybe I am missing something but does anyone have any recommendations if I stay in Terminal 2?

My other thought was to catch the RER B into Paris, lots near the les Halles stop, that would give me a couple hours to take a walk, get some items for the train, etc. Any other thoughts?

Thanks

There are a number of PAUL shops/cafes. I like their food, and they have a good variety, including salads and little quiches. We purchased food there to eat on the TGV.

You can leave luggage at Bagages du Monde for a fee; I've used it before and it worked just fine. Location is very near the TGV station, across from the Sheraton.

Thanks, Yes I found the list of restaurants, and was a bit underwhelmed. I know Paul's is good for sandwiches, and others are possibilities. Thanks for the info on the left luggage.

I'd hit Paul's for train food. That is what they sell and they will provide napkins, drinks, utensils if needed etc.

We caught the TGV from CDG 2 weeks ago. Paul’s was the best food choice. There’s a Starbucks as well. I think they opened at 6:30. The public bathroom is .80 so bring coins, Although it takes credit cards. Our plane, which was due to arrive at 6am, was early and there was no line at passport control. We breezed right in. I had allowed close to 3 hours for our connection. Ended up spending lots of time at the train station.
