We (2 adults and our kids, 20, 17 and 12 years old.) are flying into London Dec 18 and will spend 5 days there. Are there any holiday events you would suggest. We go to Paris on Dec. 24. What can we do on Xmas day? I was thinking, mass at Notre Dame? Will we be able to tour the cathedral? What else could we do? Any suggestions for a nice dinner? We thought we would leave Paris and do Normandy, but return to Paris on Dec. 29. What can you suggest for new years eve and day? Will anything be open?
