Trip to Normandy
I am thinking of taking a bus trip from Paris to Normandy. Any suggestions from anyone who may have done it. I know it is a long day but something I want to do. Thanks

Normandy is a region in France not a town. What is your goal for the day?
I would like to tour the D Day beaches.
We took the train from Paris to tour Normandy
It was easy and faster than the bus
Thank you! Did you arrange it yourself or a travel agent? Bus is at least 12 to 14 hours - how long was it for you by train.
Not sure what kind of bus takes 12 to 14 hours, but on the Normandy, Brittany, Paris & Loire Valley tour, the Tauck bus only takes a few hours, and that is with a stop at Giverny!

We didn’t use a travel agent
We had a private tour guide who picked us up at the train station in Caen and I bought the train tickets online
I wish I could remember the tour guides name but it’s been a few years
Ed, the guy who provides the local Normandy and D-Day guide services for Tauck and is excellent, has his own company. He is from Ireland but now lives in France. He was truly fantastic!
The first time I went to Normandy I had a lousy tour guide … me. I rented a car in LaHavre and bought a map. We missed a lot. So the next time we hired a professional tour company and went in a van with perhaps six other people. This was a far superior experience. However you get there, hire professionals to guide you.
