I see this post was started in Jan., nbbrown's trip was to be in May, ,but no word how it went.
I was going to suggest, as we did, ...(across the channel on the tunnel train wiih the car, drove from Calais to Normandy to spend 3 days seeing the beautiful coast and historical sights,,,Omaha beach, cemetary, Arromanches,Pointe du Hoc,etc etc,,,,We then drove down to the Loire Valley for a couple of days,,,seeing the area and a castle or two...then drove up to Orly airport on the S.W of Paris and turned in the car there.
Took a shuttle bus into the city for a few days.
Didn't see the tapestry (will catch it "later" IF it seems important, and didn't get to St. Michels on this trip)., We did see a lot, however, ....the important things to us. Each traveler has different priorities. That area of France is indeed beautiful.
Stayed a night in lovely Honfleur, and a couple in ??? (by Omaha Beach) ,,,later in Amboise in the Loire Valley.
