In 1999, I travelled to Jersey and Normandy. We flew into Paris and caught a train to Rennes in Britanny. There we chenged to a small commuter train to St. Malo on the coast. We stayed overnight there inside the old walled city. Next morning we took the Condor Ferry to Jersey. After a week in Jersey, we ferried back to St. Malo and rented car. We stayed that night on the island of Mont St. Michel Abbey at the Auberge St. Pierre. If you are going to visit the Abbey, be sure to saty overnight on the islet whichs gets quiet when the tourists go back to the mainland. We drove across Basse (lower) Normandy for the next five days. We stayed at the Chateau de Colombieres.

From there was a short drive to the Normandy Beaches where U.S. troops landed in WW2. Also nearby was St. Mere Eglise, the Bayeux Tapestry and Caen. After our stay here, we drove to Paris, dropped off our car and toured the city. Do NOT rent a car and try to drive around in Paris if you haven't done so before and can't read the signs in French. The Metro (subway) can get you just about anywhere tourists visit. Taxi's will cover the rest. Your hotel can arrange shuttle service back to the airport.
