CDG 2 RER Location
I am arriving at CDG II Terminal 2A in two days with my 16 year old daughter and need to know how to reach the RER B stop. Will I be able to walk or do I have to take a shuttle?
Additionally, I am flying from CDG to Nice via Easyjet next week and will be taking the RER B from Luxembourg to Terminal 2B. How much time would I need to ensure that I arrive at the gate by 08:20? Do I return to the same stop as above and then shuttle or walk to 2B?
Thanks in advance,

The layout of CDG2 goes something like:
2B - 2D - - - 2F
- P - P - RER - P
2A - 2C - - - 2E
You can get a shuttle, or you can walk it, depending on how energeting you're feeling. Just follow the signs for 2C, then the station - it'll take about 10-15 minutes.
2B, well, same advice in reverse.

Trains start from Luxembourg at 05:22, arriving 05:58...presume this is too early for you, so suggest:
6:06 arriving 6:44
6:21 arriving 6:59
6:36 arriving 7:14
Given the walk from RER to 2B (a good ten minutes), and allowing sufficient time for check-in, I'd opt for the 6:06... allows extra time for spotting, too!

Thanks
Andyflyer et. al,
Thanks for the info. Looks like I will be taking the 06:06 train. One last question, can I pre-purchase a single ticket the night before or will I be able to purchase at the RER early in the morning (around 5:45)?

early in the morning there is no open cashier to pay for the ticket so you need to buy it from a machine. Last time I was there, the machine would not accept any of my credit cards so I had to scramble for coins (it would not take bills either). I would definitely buy the ticket ahead of time.
