day trip from Paris to Normandy

[skornick]

We will be visiting Paris for the first time in Nov....my husband wants to take a day trip to Normandy - is this possible and does anyone know of tour groups, etc? He would be lost trying to do this on his own..thanks.

skornick,

While it is feasible, taking a day trip to Normandy is not the best idea. Given the travel times there and back, there wouldn't be much time to see any of the historic sites. It's important to remember that the D-Day locations covered a front of about 50-miles and extended some distance inland, so that's an enormous area to cover. In order to reach the sites, a rental car would be necessary.

The best idea to visit Normandy is to stay at least one night, preferably in Bayeux, and take one of the excellent day tours offered in that area. I can provide further information on tours if you decide to do that.

If you have a "large" travel budget, you could take a day tour from Paris Vision tours - check en.parisvision.com/27-normandy-and-landing-beaches.htm for details.

Hope this helps.

Trip from Paris to Normandy is a fantastic option to have fun for weekends. Beautiful beaches makes our trip much enjoyable as well. I remember my first trip from Paris to Normandy, when I was just 20 years old and I was there with my friend. Its such a fantastic experience for us.
