Cotenin/Cherbourg Peninsula overnight stay

My friends and I are staying in Paris for a week, and plan to rent a car to make an overnight excursion to the Contenin peninsula. We plan to hit Bayeaux and some of the D-Day invasion landing sites, then spend the night in, or near, Cherbourg. We'll drive to Mont Saint Michel the next morning and visit the area before returning to Paris that evening. Any suggestions on places to see along this route? Also, any recommendations for lodging and dinner would be appreciated.

You could stop in Sainte-Mere-Eglise if you're interested in WWII sites. I'd also recommend a lunch stop in Barfleur, a pretty little coastal town.
