Each one has his preferences how to travel, but from CDG to Normandy for me it's a no-brainer to rent a car. Going downtown Paris to catch a train which is not high speed (maybe direct to Bayeux, maybe with a change in Caen) while there is an easy to travel freeway getting me straight to my target place?
