[quote=Anonymous]We went to Normandy and Paris with our two college aged kids. We actually met our DC over there, who was studying abroad in another French city (Lyon) - we stayed a few days in the city before departing for Normandy.

Overall the trip was really nice, but I think that there were some things that we could've done differently for our own benefit. I think that we were a little too ambitious in that amount of driving (and things) that we thought we could do in the period of time we were there. Between driving between all the cities and driving all over Normandy to see the various D-Day sites (one of the main reasons why we went there), we were all exhausted by the time we got to Paris and ended up being too tired to fully take advantage of the city in the 3 days we were there. We also were unfortunately in Paris during peak tourist season (late July), so it was uncomfortably crowded and crazy and really detracted from the enjoyable of it all.

If I could do things differently, I would probably save Paris for another trip and spend the majority of our time in Normandy. Normandy was spectacular and absolutely stunning - and very relaxing. We stayed at a beautiful farm hotel in a seaside village. I could've spent days exploring the food, cider, countryside, seaside, and villages of the region. Would highly recommend. The D-Day beaches and museums were really good too.[/quote]
