Bastille Day 2012 leaving Paris from Left Bank to CDG airport

Leaving the Left Bank for Saturday afternoon flight out of CDG airport. Three middle aged people with 3 midsize wheeled suitcases and 3 carryons. Is it safe (heard you go through rough neighbourhood, will be able to seat or safe place to stand without being pickpocked) or will the RER B be packed and impossible to get on. Concerned getting our suitcases down steps from St. Michel station and finding our way to terminal when we get off train. Getting to the other side of Champs to get buses seems out the the question with the parade that day. Read someone had problems even finding where the buses moved on day of parade. Worried won't be able to get a cab or the fare will be out of this world expensive when stuck in traffic getting out of town. Any one with experience or suggestions?
