Depending on your level of exploring, I would say rent a car and tour the countryside. Public transportation is nice but you don't get the chance to really explore to much with public transportation. We rented a car and cruised the area, and I will be honest, I went full geek mode. The little villages are so awesome! Northern part of Normandy and the Southern part is really cool as well. A few things that I would suggest. 1). Naturally in step with the WW2 area of interest, you guys have to go to one of the D-Day beaches. I will be honest; it hits you in the Feels department. Just a powerful and emotional place, especially if you love history and military history. 2). Rouen-It is gorgeous there. The people are super cool and the vibe is off the charts. It is just an awesome place. 3). Bayeux- They have a nice museum dedicated to WW2 that is pretty nice. 4). Try the cider. Never been much of a cider fan until we went to France and I tried it over there and I have been hooked ever since. Of course, our (America) cider is a lot different than a few places that I have gone to over the years, but France has some really decent cider. Have fun. I love Europe. [/QUOTE]
