Hi im hoping to catch a train to lorient at 1.09 and wondering if im pushing it if i land at charles de gaulle at 10.55 from the uk. Arriving from the uk on 17th december and i am a british passport holder and i have to wait/collect luggage too after the plane lands ..... Do i have a good chance to make it to montpernasse train station in paris for 1.09.
Also which of the train station stops from the airport is best to get off to catch the metro 4 to gare montpernasse. If thats the best way to get to gare montpernasse.

Plane lands 10:55.
Border control: 20-30 min.: 11:25
Walk to Baggage/Wait for Baggage: 15+45 60 min: 12:25
Talk to train station: 10 min: 12:35
Buy tickets: 10 min: 12:45
Wait for train: 10 min: 12:55
RER B train from CDG to Paris Denfert-Rochereau station: 45 min: 13:35
Transfer Metro 6 dir. Etoile until Montparnasse-Bienvenue: 5 min.: 13:40
Walk to Gare Montparnasse grandes lignes platforms: 15 min: 13:55
Those times are all typical estimates. They could be shorter, such as baggage collection time.
My guess is you won't be able to make the 13:09 train, but there are usually several trains per day to nearly every destination.
