Getting from Bayeux to CDG
 
I have a flight leaving from Charles De Gaulle at 2:15pm and I am coming from Bayeux in the morning. I think I can catch at train from Bayeux that will get me into Paris but not sure of the route from Paris. Can you help?

I recommend that you take the train leaving Bayeux at 07:21 (one change in Caen) which will get you to Gare St-Lazare at 10:03. Take the RER E from Haussmann St-Lazare to Magenta. Take the short connecting walkway to Gare du Nord and take the RER B to CDG. The B line splits after you get outside of Paris so be sure you take a train that goes to CDG. Buy your ticket to CDG at Haussmann St-Lazare (E8.00). The average time for the trip is 50 minutes. You can get off at either of two stops: CDG 1 or CDG 2 TGV. If you're leaving from Terminal 1, you'll need to take the free shuttle bus from the RER station to the terminal.

Take the train as suggested and THEN get a taxi!!

The RER route is not as complicated as it might sound. And if you're traveling light, it's not difficult to schlep your luggage. Go to www.ratp.fr to download and print a metro/RER map. The site is viewable in English.

At 10:03 she has 2 hours to get to CDG--I would make it as UNcomplicated as possible--finding the right terminal, shuttle bus, etc. And I have taken the RER to CDG.
