While a vacation to Normandy is a must for any American history buff, families shouldn’t miss it either. This area of France, just a few hours from Paris, has wide beaches, picturesque half-timbered houses, apple orchards and bike paths to counter the many historical sites you’ll tour. This is a great place to invest in a kid-friendly guide who can make the significance of the battlefields, cemeteries and monuments easier for your children to understand in an age-appropriate way. And be sure to get to the fairytale Mont-Saint-Michel, one of the best day trips in Europe. Families find that Bayeux is a convenient location for exploring, and there are plenty of kid-friendly hotels in the center of the city. It’s also possible to book rental homes, seaside inns or country estates in Normandy for an even more relaxing experience with local flavor.
