Can't seem to find a train schedule site in English for France. We need to know the times of trains leaving Bayeux after 2 PM on weekdays returning to St. Lazare Station or even better to CDG for a hotel nearby.
Thanks. Luann

The German website 'Bahn.DE' actually works well for all the Western Europe countries. It shows a direct train from Bayeux to Gare St Lazare departing at 14:41 and arriving at 16:46. You'll have to take the Metro from there to Gare du Nord to catch the RER B to CDG.
The next train leaves at 16:42 with 1 change.

The simplest way to get from Gare Saint-Lazare to Gare du Nord is to walk from Gare Saint-Lazare to the Haussmann - Saint-Lazare RER station and take a three-minute ride on a RER E train one stop to the Magenta RER station which is attached to Gare du Nord. The RER B line divides northeast of Paris so be sure to get on a train that is going to CDG. The fare from anywhere in central Paris to CDG is €9.25.

The standard 2nd class fare for a direct train from Bayeux to Paris is €36.60. However, if you book well in advance (up to three months allowed) at tgv-europe.com, you can get a Prem's fare of €15.00. To get a discount fare, don't let the site bump you to either the US Rail Europe site or the UK Rail Europe site. Say that you want to stick with the tgv-europe site, but choose Great Britain as your ticket retrieval country to keep the site in English. Don't worry. You'll either be able to print your own ticket or pick it up at any SNCF station in France.

That is a big savings. We have a group of 8 persons so that is great. I need to wait until 3 mos. prior though I understand. We are traveling mid-June. Thanks again.
