We have just received confirmation of our exchange request into a 2 bedroom Marriott Village d’Ile-de-France for September 2nd, 2012. The Request First exchange took about 3 weeks to match with a Marriott DSVII 2 bedroom Thanksgiving week reservation. Given that we had a very narrow check in window (just a single weekend as this will follow a two week AMA waterways European river cruise) we were pleased to see this match so quickly. One of the main sightseeing objectives for DH is the WWII areas around Normandy. I know that this would be a long day trip from d'Ile-de-France, but can those that may have done this trip give me an idea on how long it may take to drive to that area? We will have a rental car as the cruise ends in Amsterdam and we will be driving down to Paris spending a few days in Belgium on the way. Or would it be less stressful to just return the car in Paris and find a bus trip day tour to the area to save doing the driving ourselves (DH is from the UK and is used to driving in London so I would expect that he could handle handle driving in France pretty well)? Are there tours available that leave (or pick up from) from the Marriott to Normandy?
Any other ingisht from other Tuggers is greatly appreciated!
