The op posted about a year and a half ago. I bumped this thread yesterday.
Again, we plan on spending a night at an airport hotel before heading out. We will be staying in an apartment in Bayeux for a week, with side trips to various and sundry places. The apartment is owned by a friend who lives in Paris and grew up in Normandy. I'll seek his logistical advice, as well.
