Private Tour from Paris to Normandy

Can anyone recommend a private tour company w/ English speaking driver to go from Paris to Normandy?

Hello,

Do you want a daytrip( not recommended but doable) or a short stay?( Daytrip will be a long day)

Cityrama and ParisVisions both offer big bus tour to Normandy and D Day beaches, both offer day trip or short stays. Both are equally well known and reputable. They may also offer a smaller van type tour there too, go on their websites and check that out.

If you are planning on going there and spending a few days,I have read only good recommendations for Battlebus tours.. look that up too.

Good luck.

I am going to recommend that you DO NOT do a private tour company.

Take the train to Bayeaux or Caen. Stay at the Lion d%26#39;Or where Eisenhower and the Queen have stayed (but not together, LOL). Rent a car and drive to the invasion beaches and the American cemetery to give these places the time they deserve to be appreciated. Spend some time in Bayeaux where they %26quot;welcome the liberators%26quot; and enjoy the wonderful tapestries at the library/museum.

Make sure you read Stephen Ambrose%26#39;s book on D-Day before you go.

It is a trip that has changed many lives and it will probably change yours too if you do the trip the right way.
