We're going to Paris and Normandy/Brittany in late July/early August, and would like help with our Normandy/Brittany itinerary. We don't like to over schedule, so this is just a general plan.
Day 1 - Rouen - take train to from Paris (via Giverny) and spend the day wandering and visiting the sites.
Day 2 - Rouen - pick up rental car, drive to Honfleur and/or other sites along the coast, then back to Rouen Travel via the route of the Ancient Abbeys, or are there other interesting routes.
Day 3 - Bayeux -interesting stops on the way? We could do the route of The Ancient Abbeys this day.
Day 4 - Bayeux - take a guided all day tour of the D Day beaches.
Day 5 - - Mont St Michel. Stay over night at MSM. Since we don't want to get there till after 4 when the massive tours leave, any suggestions about places to stop between Bayeux and MSM?
Day 6 - St. Malo/Dinan - leave MSM before 11 am, drive to either town , explore the area, and spend the night.
Day 7- Drive to Rennes, return the car, and take the train to Paris. Leave for the States the following day.
Does this ordinary make sense? Thank you for your help.
