What would be helpful is where to stay in Normandy area,Ray wants to stay a week there but I think may be tooo long. Also where is a good place to stay in Paris. Has to be central. How long does anyone recommend? I want a week here ,but Ray thinks 3 days sufficient---I think we have a wee problem LOLIf anyone can make suggestions we would really appreciate it. 
Pat, this is too funny. The friends that I am talking about were in Normandy two years ago and I helped them there and they loved it. I will ask where they stayed, because I can't remember. I will let you know what I find out. Also as far as Paris, we have stayed at the Holiday Inn Bastille before and have it booked for a pre-cruise for CROSS in November. It is right across from the Gare de Lyon train station and the rates are good at 119 euro per night on a non refundable booking and I think that included breakfast.
