I am flying into Charles de Gaulle on April 19th in the morning. All of the trains from CDG to Reims are full until 5:30pm.
I am looking for suggestions on how to get to Reims earlier or what to do until 5:30 lol.
Merci
Hire a driver or look at options from Paris that would have you go to Paris then change trains to Reims unless you want to hang around airport all day with luggage in tow.
Looks like there is a train out of Paris Est at 1:28pm. But I'd book it ASAP, as it seems some trains from there are already fully booked. Isn't that Easter weekend? Take a taxi from the airport to the train station. It will be a fixed price if you take it from the official taxi queue.
Indeed, Easter weekend, and Monday April 20 is a holiday in France. So, a holiday weekend too.
There is also a 14:57 available from Gare de l'Est to the TGV station Champagne -Ardennes. It's just a tram ride into the center of Reims from the TGV station.
A fixed-rate taxi from CDG to Gare de l'Est will cost 56€.
