Train from Paris to Dijon

Trying to figure out why you would fly from Frankfurt to Paris CDG, then take a train to Dijon, when in less time and a whole lot less hassle, you could take a train from Frankfurt to Dijon.

I agree with Sam, take a train all the way. I checked the DB website ( https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml ), and you can do it with one change:

Frankfurt(Main)Hbf dep 10:50, Basel SBB arr 13:49
Basel SBB dep 14:34, Dijon Ville arr 15:58

No getting to the airport, no check in. This is not the only train, other options as well.

I fully agree with Sam and Chris and if you ever want to visit Frankfurt or have lunch there and save money, take the 13h58 (with a change in Besançon) which is half the price of the 10h50 train (68€ instead of 140€)

Bon voyage and welcome to Dijon!

Let's assume that tickets are already bought for the trip to Paris and can't be changed or the OP is going to CDG to meet someone or something else that we do not know. Yes, it would be more efficient to go straight from Frankfurt to Dijon but the prior responses do not really answer the question asked. As to the question asked, if you insist on leaving from CDG I would plan on trying to catch the 15:17 train from the airport which would have two changes and is scheduled to arrive in Dijon at 20:34. There is also a 15:08 train that gets to Dijon at 20:57. You would be better off going into Paris and catching a train from Gare de Lyon. There is a 14:53 that you might be able to make. The 15:57 is a better bet but it is sold out. Next choice is the 16:53 which is scheduled to arrive in Dijon 18:34.

Yikes! That 15:17 goes to Lille Europe on the Belgian border, then you turn around and go to Paris Nord, then find your own way to Gare de Lyon for your train to Dijon. Those TGV trip planners sure have a funny way of taking you to Paris Nord, when you can just take the RER B to Paris Nord for 10 EUR, taking about 30 minutes and going every 7 minutes.

Seriously folks, there are no TGV's from Paris CDG airport to Dijon, you have to go to Gare de Lyon. Not difficult, easiest is taking the RER B to Chatelet-Les Halles, then a simple cross platform change to the RER A to Gare de Lyon, then an elevator up to the TGV platforms, all for 10 EUR. Alternately, you can take Le Bus Direct to Gare de Lyon for 17 EUR, or a taxi for a fixed price of 50 EUR. There are lots of direct trains costing 44 EUR Leisure fares if you buy tickets now. 60 EUR walk up price.

"Seriously folks, there are no TGV's from Paris CDG airport to Dijon, you have to go to Gare de Lyon." FYI there is a direct TGV CDG/Dijon at 19h58 arriving at 10pm.

Ah, the exception that proves the rule. Not a very useful train for a 13:40 arrival.

The SNCF web site doesn't sell or reflect any RER connections into Paris, so you'd check options separately from Aeroport Charles de Gaulle TGV station and from Paris (all stations).

The handy Deutsche Bahn link Looking Up Train Schedules and Routes Online gives you both RER and long-distance train schedules (without selling any tickets), so you can just search from Aeroport Charles de Gaulle TGV station and then look at the details to see where each resulting schedule connects. (Or even without viewing details, you can still see which departures start with an RER.)

If you do go into the city to Paris Gare de Lyon, Le Bus Direct line 4 does go directly there, while the RER/Metro system requires a connection.

There are also slower, 3-hour, direct, regional TER trains from Paris Bercy station (a couple of blocks from Gare de Lyon) to Dijon, running about every two hours. These are likely to be cheaper than the TGV (if buying tickets on the spot) and also can't sell out (although the TGV probably won't sell out, either).
