Catching a train in Montparnasse from Charles de Gaulle airport

I need to travel from Charles de Gaulle airport to Montparnasse to catch a TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse or "high-speed train"). What is the best and fastest method to do that? Train?

I only have an hour and 30 minutes between arrival at CDG and the pre-booked TGV departure from Montparnasse (I didn't do the booking myself). I am concerned that may not be enough time.

Best Answer

An hour and a half is not even within the realm of possible. Where is your TGV going? You might want to look into changing the train ticket to a train leaving from CDG. Trains that leave Montparnasse usually have an alternative line from CDG. If you're going towards Tours/Bordeaux or Le Mans/Rennes you should be able to take the train right in CDG.
