Information online :

There are several ways to go from Aéroport Roissy Charles de Gaulle to Paris Gare de Lyon station.

The bus line "RoissyBus" will take you from the airport to the center of Paris, at Opera station. From there, you can get RER line A (to Marne la Vallée or Boissy Saint-Léger). Gare de Lyon is the second stop from there. More information on http://www.easycdg.com/pages/cdg_airport_access_by_air_france_coachespag

You may prefer to take RER line B at the airport (to Robinson or Saint-Rémy les Chevreuses), then get off at Châtelet-les-Halles (Paris' biggest metro/bus/RER station), and from there get the RER line A (to Marne la Vallée or Boissy Saint-Léger). Gare de Lyon is the next stop (you can also get on metro line 14 to "Bibliothèque F. Mitterand" instead of RER A, it is a quite fast automated metro line, and Gare de Lyon is also the next stop).
