Normandy at Christmas

Hi everyone! Looking for some help with a trip to France over Christmas week this year.

We would like to head to Normandy from Paris, arriving in either Bayeux or Honfleur, on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, but I am worried about everything being closed because it is Christmas. Would ideally arrive in Honfleur on Christmas Day, stay for one night, and then head to Bayeux for two nights. Has anyone does Normandy over Christmas? We could delay this leg of the trip and stay in Paris for Christmas Eve and Christmas day, but that would make our trip to the Normandy area a really quick one (right after Christmas instead). Can anyone give me any insight to spending Christmas Eve/Christmas Day and night in the towns of Normandy?

Thank you in advance!
