St Lazare train station to CDG logistics questions

Tentative plan:(late September) Arrive at St. Lazare at 09:00 from Bayuex on a Thursday. Then catch a CDG 12:35 departing flight(Air France or Aer Lingus)to Dublin. Distance being about 29 km and factoring in possible delays, is there enough time to board the flight with no rush? Will have one large/one carry-on size luggage plus day bag. With cost not a primary concern, taking a cab ride be my best option? If so, I assume there are signs and queue for cabs?

Use RER E (direction Chelles/Tournan from Gare St Lazare to Magenta-Gare du Nord then change there to RER B direction CDG. Should take 35-40 minutes plus 10 minutes to the ticket counter..(google CDG terminal layout..). Much cheaper than a cab at Euros 8.50! when buying your ticket at RER E station ask for 1 ticket (per person) to CDG.

With the amount of luggage you have and the relatively short period of time available to catch a flight, I recommend you take a taxi.





There are usually a good number available at the taxi queue in front of the station.

According to toandfromtheairport.com a cab takes roughly 45 minutes. Traffic will be the biggest factor.



According to http://www32.ratp.info/ RER takes about 55 minutes.



The bigger issue for you will be whether security is slow or not. Posters here have experienced both.
