Flights to Bayeux?

Hello!
I'm hoping to travel to Normandy in September, will be taking a two-day tour in Bayeux and am trying to plan travel from Paris to Bayeux and back for a return flight to Chicago. I'm having trouble finding flights from Bayeux to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. Can someone advise me on whether there are or aren't regular flights?

Thanks very much!
Michael

The airport CFR is in Caen
I see Air France flight to CDG but stops in Lyon - a 5 hour journey

Why not just take the train?

Do what other responders said…..take the train. Other than getting to Corsica the airport in Caen is very, very limited in terms of air service. I’ve been coming to the area since 2004.

Normally to visit Bayeux, people fly into Charles de Gaulle in Paris and then make their way into Paris by taxi or suburban train to catch a train to Bayeux from Paris St Lazare station.

You would then repeat the process in reverse when leaving Bayeux (but I would spend at least the night before your flight departs for the States in Paris; I would not try to do Bayeux-Paris-CDG-US all in one day).

Actually, aéroport CFR isn't in Caen. It's in the western suburb of Carpiquet, about 25 minutes' drive from Bayeux.
