Paris and Normandy for Family

I am taking my wife and two kids (11) to France in mid-October.
Paris two nights and then Normandy for two nights (to see WW2 Battle sites).
Any suggestions for a private or very small tour in Normandy?
How about a place to stay (or someone to package this up for us) in Normandy?

Thanks!

This company has been use by many here:

www.battlebus.fr

You would need to get to Bayeux area.

Where are you arriving from, leaving from? Times, dates? Four nights is not a lot of time.

We didn't take in the WW2 battlesights but did get to spend one night in the General George S.Patton Hotel in Avranches. ( I nearly said the Gen.George C.Scott hotel!) There is a monument to Patton as you enter the little town.

Hotel d'Argouges is a very nice, reasonably-priced hotel in Bayeux, and it's within walking distance of some great little restaurants and also (w/in walking distance) the pick up point for www.battlebus.fr tours.

We recently visited Normandy and stayed at a B&B that was so nice that we have told friends and family to stay there when they are in that area. It is run by a very friendly English couple that know a lot about the area, which is always a help when you are only in places for a short time. Their website is http://www.lamaugerie.com/
