DAY TOUR OUT OF PARIS BY TRAIN

  Having noticed that many Americans who come to visit and stay in Paris would still love to make a quick trip to Normandy.
But hiring a chauffeur is quite costly and renting a car when you do not know stick-shift nor your way out of Paris can be tricky...

I have a solution for you if you are in this situation ! In the US you do not have too many chances to take the train so why not try it to get to Normandy?

Our trains are usually on time and clean
(for a few euros more take a first class ticket, it's even better)
but the only problem is that you will have to get up very early because the first train from
GARE SAINT-LAZARE
(line Paris/Cherbourg) leaves at
07.07am but you do not have to change trains anywhere. It is direct !

You get off in CARENTAN
(town where I was born, liberated by the 101st Airborne troops and made famous by TV serie "Band of Brothers"...)
You will arrive at 09.29am and we are very close to Sainte Mere Eglise
(First town liberated on the morning of June 6th) and Utah beach.
This way we have a full day because at the end of the day, we'll finish in Bayeux where you have a train leaving at 6.41pm for Paris, arriving there at 8.45 pm

Tour includes: (Train fare not included in tour price)
- Sainte Mere Eglise - Utah beach - Sainte Marie du Mont - Pointe du Hoc - Omaha beach - American cemetery
(if time,little extras "off the beaten track" will be shown)
