Hi everyone... planning a mid-April trip to France for our family of 4. What I've roughed out is admittedly a very aggressive trip.

We're not opposed to long days with lots of driving, and generally start our days very early. That said, I know this is a lot to cover in 8.5 days, so would be interested in your thoughts. One thought was to cut 1 day out of Paris, and extend a day in the Loire Valley region. Thanks in advance!

Friday night- fly to Paris from US
Saturday morning- arrive Paris. Afternoon in Paris
Sunday- day in Paris
Monday- day in Paris
Tuesday- depart Paris en route to Deauville (153 miles)
- Rouen, Honfleur, then overnight in Deauville
Wednesday: Deauville to Normandy to Mont St. Michel to Saint Malo (198 miles)
Thursday Saint Malo to Brittany region (Rennes, St. Nazaire and then overnight in Nantes) (159 miles)
Friday : Brittany region to Loire Valley (135 miles)
- Angers to Tours (overnight in Tours)
Saturday:Tours to Blois to CDG Airport Hotel (169 miles)
Sunday:
- Morning Flight home
