is it possible to get a fare to include the CDG to Gare de Lyon sectors ?
</font>
No and yes.

If you will take the TGV from Gare de Lyon (Paris), there's no SNCF connection from CDG to Gare de Lyon. You can get from CDG to Gare de Lyon by RER (metro), Air France bus, or taxi. I'd avoid the metro at peak hours or if you have luggage, because you'll have to change trains.

Alternatively, you could get a CDG-Geneva fare by taking the TGV from CDG to Lyon, then connecting to a train (probably not TGV) from Lyon to Geneva.

Is it possible to request specific seating in the First Class sections and if so,are there any recommendations?
</font>
Yes. 1st-class cars have two seats on one side of the aisle (window and aisle), and on seat on the other side (isolé). The only seats I would not recommend are the four seats facing each other in the center of each car, and the seats in the 'salon' at the end of some cars. You can also specify whether you want smoking or non-smoking.
, you can reserve either a non-smoking or smoking car,
