From Terminal 1 or 3
you'll need to make your way to the CDG VAL (Véhicule Automatique Léger) shuttle train over to Terminal 2.
As you can see from the above route the shuttle goes from terminal 1 to 3 to 2 ,with car-park stops in between ,so don't panic as you approach 3 - stay on!
At terminal 2 you'll arrive very close to the train station.
By following the signs you will arrive at the station area on level 4,here you should find the Sheraton hotel (see plan below ) - if you do you'll know you are in the right place! There is also a bank on this level so its a good place to get some euros plus it will also give you a chance to check out you credit card as in France you normally need a 'smart chip enabled' credit card for purchases.
Descend to Level 2 where you will find the ticket office for the station. The office is split into two sides, one side for tickets for Paris trains (RER B) and the other side for intercity Grandes Lignes trains tickets, which includes TGV trains to the Loire valley. You can pick up your
'internet bought' tickets, here.
The automated ticket machines here can be used to collect your TGV tickets that you purchased on the internet - but you must use a 'smart chip enabled' card - and it must be the card you used to purchase them originally!
Once you have your tickets you then descend to Level 1 -remember the station is split into two distinct sides, one for RER suburban trains (for Paris city centre), the other, the one you want, is for the TGV high speed intercity trains, which travel to destinations in the Loire valley.
Note: You will see signs saying 'Aeroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV' but this does not mean you have arrived at the TGV platforms as this is just the general name for the station.
