Planning a trip from Paris to Bayeux

Hello!

I am traveling from Paris to Bayeux for a two-day tour with Overlord. The tour ends at 6 pm, and I need to get back to Paris for a flight at 11:15 am. I was thinking I'd take a train to Paris in the evening after the tour and sleep at a hotel near the train station. This would allow me to take a taxi early next morning to get a flight back to Chicago at 11:15 am.

Does this seem like it would work? I'm a first-time traveler, don't speak French, and will be solo. I'm aware that there are train issues (strikes, cancellations) at times, and I don't want to get stuck. Also, is it reasonable to think I can walk from the train station to a nearby hotel late at night.

Thanks very much for your advice!

What Gail said. You will arrive in Paris a bit late to do anything in the city. Just take a taxi from the train station the night before your flight and stay at a hotel at the airport. You will need to be at the airport about 3 hours before your flight out, so make that morning easy on yourself. Taxi will be a fixed rate.
