Hi Ben, I\'ve never been to Paris before and travel seems a little confusing. I need to get from CDG to accomodation in Avenue du President Wilson in Saint Denis. Not going any further that day, so do I still need a full Paris Airport train ticket?Thank you!

Hi, yes that Paris Airports Ticket is the best option for a single train ride from CDG to anywhere in Paris area / Ile-de-France. It's the cheapest option for RER B train rides into Paris, since the Navigo Day Pass is no longer valid for Paris CDG / Orly airports (and only made sense if you needed to transfer onto buses / trams, take other public transport on the same day).
If you're adventurous there's actually a city bus that runs from Roissypole bus terminal at CDG Airport (same area as Aeroport CDG 1 train station serving CDG T1 / T3 passengers) to Saint-Denis area. The bus # 9517 Roissypole - La Plaine Stade de France. See the route here. Cost of bus ticket is 2.05€. Purchase that bus ticket from the ticket window inside Roissypole or from ticket vending machines for that price and ability to transfer onto other buses or trams (not RER trains/Metro though). Bought from the bus driver the bus ticket will cost 2.50€ and won't allow transfers onto other buses.
The caveat with CDG airport city buses are these are likely aimed at workers to commute to airport for work, not carrying large luggage. So luggage storage space on these buses may be little or non-existent.
