So, am thinking of doing the unthinkable (for us anyway...lol) and renting a car while in France. Plan A had been to rent the car in Caen, but we are arriving there on a Sun, and there is nowhere open to rent a car(arrival/departure not changeable). Plan B was to rent the car on Mon for a day, but the $ for 1 day seemed really high. So Plan C is to perhaps rent one on Sun in PAris and drive to Caen (the main reason is we want to visit some canadian war sites, and Mont St Michel, but train/bus options seem a little sparse/constraining). We are travelling Tues afternoon by ferry to my sister in Portsmouth, so we'll be leaving the car in Caen. So, after doing a little inputting into car rentals, I have a lot of options for picking up a car in Paris on a Sun...we are most interested in somewhere that would NOT involve us having to drive out of city center...somewhere close to outskirts, but accessible by public transport. Has anyone had any experience with picking up a rental from somewhere other then the airport/main train stn...somewhere a little less frenetic...we are more then happy to use trains, which is why a car rental is a little unnerving for us...thanks all!
