We are six people planning on going to Normandy from Paris. We found Viator that goes to that area and several other areas such as Bruges which sounds interesting. We might rent a car but since it's all in the early planning stages we are also considering a tour company that would take only the six of us. Has anyone used any tour company that they would recommend? We're trying to avoid a large bus full of tourists like us.

Mind you, I did not take this option myself but thought it looked interesting. Good luck.
Hi Espinach1, perhaps you would get more of a response if you start a new thread with NORMANDY or D DAY in the title.
Just a suggestions...
