Jon<BR>I just tried that web site also and all I get is Bus Fly Tours which is quoting prices for year 2001. I'm sure they are out of business but I can't bring up the outfit I used. Best I can do is tell you to contact your hotel and ask them. Bayeux is a relivately small town and I'm sure they would know. Worst comes to worst you can always drive to the various beaches and museums.<BR>Sorry about the web site. Have a great trip. I'm sure you'll enjoy.

A great little town between Normandy and the Mont is Villadieux - very quaint, if you like copper stuff they've got it all. Stayed at the Hotel St Pierre (very nice) for $40 per night and had a great four course dinner for two with a bottle of wine for $45. An easy drive to the Mont in the am. A local gave us this tip -and it was a great suggestion.

Michael, <BR><BR>Spent three nights in Normandy last month. here's what we did:<BR><BR>1) Day 1: drive from Paris to Bayeux. Stopped at les Andelys/Chateau Gaillard briefly en route, and spent a few hours in Rouen. Went to Normandy for the night -- had dinner in Arromanches on the coast<BR><BR>2) Day 2: Museum at Caen in the morning (3-4 hours); lunch; Arromanches and American cemetary in the afternoon (by coastal road leaving Caen). Decided not to go to Point du Hoc, but could have done so). Dinner in Bayeux<BR><BR>3) Day 3: Visited Bayeux tapestry in the morning (maybe 90 minutes at most). Drove to Mont St Michel via Villedieu Les Poeles (the town where copper pots are made). Do check time of last English-language tour at MSM. (If you miss it, it is still easy and fine to do the self-guided tour with their instruction sheet. Drove back to Bayeux for our final dinner and night there.<BR><BR>Hope this helps.<BR><BR>John H
