There are 4 of us in Paris this September and we'd like to take a day tour to Normandy. Has anyone got any recommendations? Ideally the tour would be smaller, like 20 or less. Thank you!

We enjoyed our Bayeux Shuttle tour. They give instructions on how to catch the train in Paris and meet the tour guide. We had a van with about a dozen people. I would say this tour followed Band of Brothers sites fairly well.

Overlord Tours offers tours from Paris. They are excellent.
While I'm glad someone had a good experience with Bayeux Shuttle, they canceled on me one day before a scheduled tour in Normandy. Fortunately, Overlord was able to find a place for me. It turned out to be one of the best one day tours I've ever taken.

We took the Overlord 1/2 day tour from Paris. Early train there, checked out a museum and Bayeux for a while, ate lunch, then toured. Back to Paris on the train that evening. Some will say that a half day tour from Paris is way too short. Yes, it is. But when it's the only option that will fit into your travel plans, and you want to make a visit to Normandy, it's a great option. We were there the first week of June and experienced 3 flyovers--we loved it! It was a short, but great tour. I believe they also had a full day tour from Paris. Just be prepared for a long day.
ETA: The van we took held about 8-9 people
