Planning an 8-night trip in late-April, early-May.
Thinking of spending 3 nights in Paris, 3 in Normandy, and 2 in Loire.
First off, does this seem like a reasonable division of nights. I know Paris cannot be done in 3 nights but we want to get out of the city.
Second, is it best to spend all 3 nights in Normandy in one town and venture out from there. I was considering basing in Bayeux.
Third, where to stay in Loire. Amboise? A chateux in the country?
Finally, we are planning on renting a car when we leave Paris and dropping off in Tours prior to getting on the train to CDG to fly home. Is this (1) doable and (2) advisable?
Thanks for the help!

I think that sounds a pretty fair division of your time. Too many people only give Normandy one or two nights, then regret it when they get here. Obviously as a B%26amp;B owner I would say that we are in an excellent location to use as a base to get to Mont St Michel, the D-Day beaches, St Mere Eglise and Bayeux, being equidistant to all of them. We are out in the country, although we have restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive and we offer evening meals but you may prefer to stay in a town. If you are going to choose a town then Bayeux would be my first choice. I think your car hire plans are fine. I%26#39;m afraid I don%26#39;t know the Loire area very well so can%26#39;t advise on that but I can assure you that you will find plenty to fill your time in Normandy.
