[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking into Reims and Mont St Michel day trips instead! Any advice or detail anyone can provide on these would be appreciated. [/quote]

I think Mont St. Michel usually involves walking up a road from the water level to the church at the top of the hill. So for that part, on a rainy day, it's outside walking in the rain.  No different from Paris.

It is very cool to see the island but as I recall most tours are only part day.  I saw it at low tide.  I was young then but other than the amazing nature of the general view from far away it was not more or less interesting than Versailles or Notre Dame.

It can be paired with the Normandy beaches.  I have not toured those.  WW2 is actually quite helpful for today's kids to learn about, now that we have fewer people in our daily lives who actually lived through it/fought in it/etc.  So if it's a combo trip, I support that.

I haven't made it to Reims yet.  While I love the Middle Ages, most kids are indifferent to the differences between  cathedrals.  When I looked at day trips to that area, I believe a lot of the other stops tied into drinking wine and champagne.  That's awkward with kids.[/quote]
