I would appreciate RS Travelers’ input on Normandy and Brittany itinerary. Although wife and I have spent much time in France, this will be our first visit to Normandy and Brittany.
In August wife & I arrive London for 3-weeks. Then over to Bath for 5-nights. We’ll then take train to Portsmouth, ferry to Ouistreham (port of Caen), rent car, stay in Bayeux 5-nights and explore Normandy.
First question: What is your recommended duration in Normandy if this is our first visit.
Next stop is Brittany.
Second question: What is your recommended home base for Brittany?
Third question: What is your recommended duration for our first trip to Brittany? We have 5-nights left before our return flight from CDG. We could shorten time in Brittany and add additional site. We’ve been to the Loire Valley but wouldn’t mind returning. Or we could shift some days from Brittany and expand Normandy stay.
Thank you in advance for your always helpful and well-reasoned advice!
