You may want to reconsider driving around by yourself to see the sights and go with a day tour or two-day if you want to see both the American and British sights. We just did a one-day tour of the American side with Overlord Tours and having someone knowledgable explain what took place certainly helps. This was my second trip in 20 years, the first one was without a guide.

We also used Overlord to tour the D-Day area. They were great. We were picked up at the hotel and our guide was very knowledgeable. We felt that having a guide made the day very worthwhile. They offer a variety of tours in both duration and content which can provide choices to meet your objectives.

For budget options, there are a number of the cheap chain hotels right next to the Memorial in Caen, which I consider to be a must.

We did the 1/2 day Overlord Tour. Recommended!

I think I'll save my family $500 and buy this book instead:

Was in Bayeux last week. Stayed at Hotel D'Argouges, we loved it. Our favorite restaurant was La Raperie. We also hired Allan from First Normandy Battlefield Tours - he was exceptional.
