My husband and I are arriving at Orly on a Wednesday at 1:15. We plan to spend a few days in Bayeux. We have decided not to drive so we plan to take the train from Gare St. Lazare to Bayeux. What is the best way for us to get from Orly to St Lazare? We will each have a large bag and a carryon so we thought that we should take a taxi to St Lazare. We are not sure how long it will take to get to Lazare. After we arrive at Orly at 1:15 p.m. and pick up our checked bags, would it be possible for us to be on the 3:15 train? We figure that this is probably impossible and that we should book the next train at 5:30. Does this seem right? Do you have any suggestions?

Five-thirty train. Taxi should make it in about forty-five minutes and will be almost door to door.
Metro/bus/rer/val will have at least three changes and take almost an hour. Getting out the door at Orly, finding the taxi rank, getting in the door at St Lazare, and finding the platform is bound to take more than an hour.
