Travel choices from CDG to Bayeux

There are 3 of us arriving at 11:30 in the morning. We need transporation from the airport to Hotel Churchill. Is there a shuttle or private transportation available to do this?

Probably, but a taxi will be more reliable and cheaper.

From CDG airport in Paris to the Hotel Churchill in Bayeux? You would not want to take a taxi - it's over two hours driving. Most people either take the train or rent a car. I have not heard of any shuttle from CDG to the town of Bayeux.

Missed stinking Bayeux, thought it was a Paris Hotel.

Driving will beat the train by a couple of hours. Else, just the train. A driver and car is unthinkable.

I'd rent a car and drive, but if you prefer the train, take a cab or RER/Metro to Gare St. Lazare, where there are direct trains to Bayeux.

Here's the route to take CDG>Bayeux. The earlier you buy your train tickets, the less expensive they will be. If you're renting a car in Normandy, it might be more convenient to pick it up at CDG and drive. Bon voyage!

Watch out for that link!!

If you're sitting on the RER B waiting for Magenta to show up, you'll still be waiting when the line ends at Cape Town, SA.

Click on the the left side of the map where the little images are and it'll give a more detailed route. Take the RER B line to Paris Nord. Walk to the RER E line at Magenta. Take the E to Haussmann St Lazare and from there walk to the Gare St Lazare. Giving meaningful advice is what these forums are about. If you knew the way, Ed, why didn't you mention it instead of just the snarky comment?

Because T gave the gist of the operation and the subsequent link was misleading and confusing by the implication.

It's also apparent that the elaboration of the link was incomplete and only copied from information in the link. The two 'walk's would lead Laraine to believe she had to muck about in the streets. I probably would have mentioned what's not in the link -- that the two pairs of stations are connected by direct tunnels. I happen to know this since I've done it a few times -- actually more than a few, since I've been stumbling around the Paris metro system since way the heck before the RER was even thunk of.

Just for grins, Phil -- what's your recent experience? I could well be wrong, things change, you know.

Perhaps a bit of useful information to clear any confusion would have been apprpriate. I've "mucked about" Paris 7 times since 2001 and I'll be back in November after traveling through Strasbourg, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and Dinan. Ed, I value your input in these forums but your remark upset me. I feel that it was in bad taste.
