Does anyone have any advice for travelling to Normandy, Paris, and Dublin in January?

My friends and I are leaving for Paris at the end of this month. We are spending a week in Paris, a night in Normandy, and a week in Dublin. We could especially use advice regarding Normandy in January...as it is harder to travel there in winter.Does anyone have any advice for travelling to Normandy, Paris, and Dublin in January?
Is your question about what form of transportation to use, where to stay, or what to see? I'm not sure what you are looking for. I'm not sure how you are traveling.





Some places to go in Normandy:


Caen has a museum called the Memorial to Peace - it's about more than just world war II and the normandy invasion.





Bayeux has the Bayeux tapestry which I thought was very interesting.





Of course there are the WWII D-day beaches. I think the best two museums are the one at Arramanches where they built the artificial harbor and the one at the american cemetery. The one at the cemetery is free.

I just want to add to Douglas' answer that you can also go to The Mont Saint Michel in Normandy. I live next to it and it's wonderfall. You can also visit Deauville and Honfleur which are beautiful (Deauville is famous for is American cinema festival, I don't know if you know it)... But everyplaces Douglas told you are great too.





It's not so hard to travel from Paris to Normandy in winter because you have some trains particularly to go to Caen. Then, when you'll be there, you can go everywhere we told you thanks to trains or bus.

I tried to give you the websites in English. For the one about Caen, it used to be in english, but not anymore, I don't know why!


I hope that helps you!
