Daytrip from London to Normandy?
I know that one of the chunnel train runs from London and makes a stop on the French coast at Calais. Does anyone know if there are any tours available in London that take advantage of this, by arranging a daytrip from London to the beaches of Normandy? Or if there are any French-based tours available from Calais to the beaches? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. <BR>

Calais is a long way from the Normandy beaches. The Chunnel train will take you to Gare du Nord in Paris, from there take the Metro to Gare St. Lazare, and from there a frequent train to Bayeux. Your best bet at Bayeux is a taxi to the American Cemetary, about 20 min. It is possible to take a bus from just outside the rr station in Bayeux but the schedule is not that good, and it is a 1/2 mile walk into the cemetery from the bus stop. But then we did it last Oct. and the tourist season is over by then, perhaps the service would be better in the Spring. It's worth the trip.
