Hello everyone!
My husband and I are planning a ten day trip to London and then Northern France mid-May with our will-be 9 month old daughter. Our current plan is to take the Eurostar on a Saturday and rent a car from Gare du Nord to drive into Normandy. (No desire to stay in Paris, we’ve both been multiple times. And we feel pretty good about driving out of Paris; we live downtown in Boston and have driven in Scotland and Santorini before).
We want to spend 5-6 nights in France. We’d like to visit Etretat, Honfleur, D-Day beaches, maybe Rouen, and of course Mont Saint Michel over 5 days. Perhaps Saint Malo as well but could leave that.
Any recommendations on a town or particular manor/bed and breakfast:apartment style lodgings we should stay in to be able to hit some of these sites in Normandy/Bretagne over several day trips? Or is there nothing central enough and better off doing three nights in one area and two nights in another spot?
Thank you so much for your recommendations! Very excited to travel with our baby!
