We took a bus that took us on the 4 hour drive and provided lunch at a restaurant in Normandy. The whole tour was excellent as we stopped at several of the beaches, a museum and of course the cemetery. It was a long day but well worth it. It didn't get dark until very late, so we still enjoyed al fresco dining in Paris afterward.
