Finding a hotel in Paris seems to be a bit more difficult than all the other places I've looked, mostly because of the insane cost [varies between $150+]. I stayed in the Marais [4th arrondissement] last two times I was there and it was amazing, so I'm trying to take Tanya so she can experience...
Dec 28th > Driving From Normandy to Brittany Drive from Dol to Dinan 56.6 km Hang out there, Sleep in Dinan Final booking of the night also came from priceline-europe.com, and was pretty affordable as well. apparently sleeping in dinan is expensive, so finding a nice looking place with great reviews sounds good to me....

You must visit the coast between Honfleur and Cabourg. Then visit the coast beyond Cabourg to see the D-Day beaches and American Cemetery. You'll be amazed, trust me.
I Finally booked my rental car for my France trip, but after even more searching i found a better deal than the expedia one. i went direct, and got it through hertz.com which has an office right next to the rouen train station [which is how i'm going to be arriving from paris]. this will...

thanks! i like jpg magazine! i think it's kinda like the jones soda contest though, it'd be really cool to be accepted but the sheer amount of entries they have make that pretty impossible. :( i'll pass the good word onto tanya, thanks!

Hey... JPG Magazine.
Thought you might be interested.
And Tanya might be interested in this aspect.
Since i'm going to need a car for a little less than half my france trip, i started trying to figure out how i'm going to make that happen. when i went to ireland i used enterprise, mostly because they were the cheapest/rented to people under 25. i also like them because not only did...

Hiya, this is just… a note. I lived in Brittany for a year, and if you’re going to be bopping around, you REALLY should see Les Cotes Sauvages on the Southern coast of the peninsula. They’re incredible, absolutely stunning. I actually have a few pictures on my LJ somewhere in March of last year or something. Anyway. My two cents. Sounds like an amazing trip!

Sounds like a great itinerary. Away from touristy France for the most part. Hope you'll find the time to see some castles around Chinon - there's a few to choose from there... ;-)
The train ride should be nice too.
Bonnes vacances, j'attends de voir les photos!
