We have an hour and 15 minute layover in Paris for our flight to Turin. If by chance we miss the flight is there train options?

Are you booked all the way through on one ticket? If so, the airline will put you on the next flight (if, say, the first leg arrives late). If for some reason, that doesn't work out, you can take the TGV direct from Paris Lyon station to Turin in about 5.5 hours. It will be a pricey proposition to buy last minute TGV tix.

We are booked on one ticket through Delta and I know there are two more flights to Turin that day. The Turin airport is closing on that Friday evening for maintenance so I'm just checking my options. I have an 8:15am meeting on Saturday so I need to get to Turin on Friday. It will probably not be a problem and I wish I'd had realized we needed to book a longer layover but the lesson learned won't help on this trip!

There are direct trains to Turin, but departures after mid-afternoon are night trains. You can depart Paris Lyon at 10:41 or 14:41 on a direct train, taking 5.5 hours. After that the direct train is a night train. There Are probably other options if you make changes along the way. You can use the bahn.de website to see the options. But I hope you make your connection and don't have to worry about it!
