Of course!! We'll be arriving about 5 days before the start of school, so we'll be visiting the Normandy area then before we head down to Annecy. We're also going to different places every weekend: Chamonix (our favorite place and only an hour away), Switzerland (to see the Eiger), Paris ... I forget where else ... Gary's the tour guide, he has it all figured out. <g> And since school's only 4 hours a day, we'll have the rest of each day for short trips.
