Solo teen cross France rail travel

Hi, I%26#39;m planning on travelling from Charles de Gaulle airport to Brive la Gaillarde this summer by rail. I%26#39;m 18, and I speak definitely reasonable french, certainly that I am confident that my french won%26#39;t be the problem!



my flight lands (Vueling, so I think Terminal 1) at 18.05, and I need to catch the train from the CDG station at 19.15. Is this possible? With the CDGVAL etc? I really have to know that I will be able to catch the train.



Thank you very much x

Terminal 1 is about 15-20 mins walk from the station. If your plane is on time, you disembark straight away, don%26#39;t get pulled by customs, and only have hand luggage it should be doable without worrying.



If you have luggage to collect from the carousel......who knows how long that could take? I guess an additional 10-40 mins depending how quickly the cases arrive from the plane and where your case is in the queue. That takes it from still doable to very tight indeed. And if your luggage goes missing.... ?!



The trains to Paris are frequent and alternate between direct trains and stopping trains. Direct = 25 mins, stopping = 40 mins.



Hope you make it.
