Going July 24th; should we be concerned about arrival in Paris pre-Olympics? Should I pack hiking boots rather than gym shoes for Mont St Michel? Any recommendations from previous guests would be appreciated
Gym shoes or regular shoes with good soles. All surfaces are concrete, asphalt, stone- no unimproved walkways. Quite a few steps and some inclines.
April1954, the climb up Mont St Michel was challenging; one person had to turn back. Once you arrive in Normandy, soak it all in. I traveled with Tauck in 2016 to the area. My uncle, who was killed in action at age 19, is buried at the Normandy American Cemetery. My tour director personally escorted me to his grave. So many times, traveling isn't just about staying in nice hotels and eating good food but being fortunate to have a once in a lifetime experience. Enjoy your trip!
Normandy is an emotional experience. We have been there twice, and my wife has shed many tears there.
