I'm going to Paris with family right after Christmas. I've been to Paris before but never Normandy, so my 16 year old agreed to make the trek with me so I don't have to go solo. Anyone here done that for a day? I know it's a long day, but is it worth the effort to go there and back in a single day? I'm fine leaving really early and getting back pretty late...
