I have a night train reservation from Paris to Rome. My flight arrives 8:30 at CDG and my train leaves at 18:50 at the Gare de Bercy. What is the best & cheapest way to get from CDG to Bercy? TIA!

Cheapest: Take the RER B to Gare du Nord. Transfer to the RER D and take it to Gare de Lyon. Transfer to Metro line 14 and take it one stop to Bercy. The fare is €8.40.
There is no luggage storage at Gare de Bercy. I suggest that you store your luggage in a locker at Gare de Lyon. If you're traveling alone, buy a one-day, zone 1-2 Mobilis pass (€5.80) and go exploring. It will cover all your rides on the Metro, the RER, and the bus. If you're traveling with someone, either buy a ten-ticket carnet (€11.40) and share the tickets or buy two Mobilis passes.
For a zoomable map of the RER & Metro system, go here. For detailed instructions, including photos, on getting from CDG to Paris on the RER B, go to www.parisbytrain.com.

Thanks for the info Tim. How much time should I expect to get from CDG to Bercy if I didn't go exploring? I have access to the AF lounge and I'm thinking about just hanging out there until I leave for the train. I'll be returning to Paris later and staying for 7 days - alot of time for exploring.

You're welcome, Maple.
It will take you about 50 minutes, including transfer time, to get from CDG to Bercy.
