Trains leave from within the terminal at DeGaulle. I'd save your riding until you are more relaxed.. One advantage you can do is buy your train ticket in the US before you leave.. Trains leave from DeGaulle going in every which direction almost every hour.. Sometimes the lines at the train station inside DeGaulle are so long, you'll miss a train or two.. Only a few TGV trains require tickets be on a reserved basis.. Unless, you sleep easily on trans continental flights, I think Ironwood's suggestion would be wise.. Google SNCF's website. They offer their train schedules in English should you need it..
