Car Rental in France

With the price of gas in France, and the high tolls from CDG to Bayeux, would it make more sense to take the train to Bayeux and rent a car there rather than rent on at CDG. Thanks

You're going to rent a car that day anyway so no extra expense there. It's about 175 miles and a small car will get forty per. Gas runs about nine bucks a gallon. Tolls will be around twenty-five dollars. If you want to mess with the trains and I drive, I can stop for lunch and still beat you, even if you have perfect connections.

I agree with Ed. The tolls in France really aren't that expensive. Use viamichelin.com to plot your routes and get estimated driving costs. It says the 175 mile journey will cost $54 assuming a diesel car.
