I will reach Paris-Charles de Gaulle Sunday evening at 7.00 PM. Is it possible to go to Saint-Malo in the same day?

2Do you mean by train or other public transportation? It seems that the last train is at 19H57: sncf.com/fr/itineraire-reservation/itineraire/…. By car, Saint-Malo is 400km away from Charles de Gaulle airport (it would be a little bit shorter from Orly airport), so it is doable– TaladrisMar 25, 2019 at 4:41

1There's a train from Gare Montparnasse to Rennes, 21:14–23:10. But there are no connections from Rennes to Saint-Malo that late, and I have no idea if you'd be able to find a taxi to take you from Rennes to Saint-Malo at that time of the night.– Michael SeifertMar 25, 2019 at 18:08

3The taxi ride would be brutally expensive, even from Rennes. There's a surcharge on Sundays.– Andrew LazarusMar 25, 2019 at 20:08

Getting there by car takes about 4 hours by car but driving that much after a long flight is going to be hard. Jetlag might help or make it even harder.
A taxi would likely not even accept to drive from Rennes to St Malo. As an alternative, there are buses leaving Paris late at night and arriving at Saint Malo right in time for the breakfast. Even if the plane land at 7PM, expect some delay to cross the border and retreive your luggage.
See for instance these buses: https://shop.flixbus.fr/search?departureCity=2015&arrivalCity=4748&route=Paris-Saint-Malo&rideDate=28.04.2019&adult=1&_locale=fr&wt_eid=2155510315279605137&wt_t=1555103199941&affiliate=%28not+set%29%2C
I would consider staying in Paris over the night and ride on a TGV changing at Rennes. The first train leaves slightly before 7am and arrives at about 9h30am. In addition, it's more confortable than the bus.

There are no trains that will get you from Charles de Gaulle to Saint Malo after 19:00.
A taxi or hire car could do it.
