I am considering a last minute trip this summer with my sons, ages 18 and 16. There is a bot of a WWI and WWII theme to the trip but it's not a 24/7 goal. A secondary goal would be to do something adventurous - like bungy jumping, zip-lining, mountain biking.

Dates and airports are fixed - it's a price and availability issue - flying into Frankfurt and out of Paris. We have 8 nights. We will pick up a car at FRA and drop it in Paris.

Luxembourg City is a must - it gets us 2:30 hours west of FRA on the first day and we all want to see it. We also get to visit the Ardennes, Bastogne, etc..

I think I would like to stay in Bayeux when we visit Normandy, for proximity to all the beaches, cemeteries, museums, etc..

Then it is back to Paris for a couple days before departure.

I don't really like to stay just 2 days in each place but to meet everyone's list of things to see, we are going to have to, I think. The drive from Luxembourg City to Bayeux is about 7 hours and I think I would like to break it up with a stop somewhere in between. Can't make that stop Paris because of the rental car and the fact we depart from CDG.

My proposed itinerary, then would be;

Luxembourg City - 2 nights
???????? - 2 nights
Bayeux - 2 nights
Paris - 2 nights

I would love to take them to Brugge and use that see Flanders and the WWI sights but it only reduces my drive time to Bayeux by 1 hours, to about 6 hours.

So, my question is, where might be a good place to stop with two teenagers for 2 nights between Luxembourg and Bayeux. Anything that would take care of the adventure aspect, too?

Thanks,
