We are wanted to spend 4 or 5 days in London then go to the Normandy area for a week and finish up with 2 or 3 days in Paris. We are a family of 5. We won't need a car in London. I'm having trouble figuring out the most inexpensive/ least hastle way of getting to the Normandy area. We could take the train to the coast and then take a ferry to Caen or Cherbourg, but many of those seem to be for cars not foot passengers. Ryan air seems to go there fairly cheaply, but I've heard there are tons of extra fees?? The children will be 16, 14 and 9 when we do this. Also, where in Normandy is it best to rent a car?? My itinerary seems different from those in Rick's books..that or I've missed the info.
