Also, if you land in Paris and go straight to Bayeux go to their tourist center and get the sites to see in Bayeux. It is just a couple hours to do it all, but keeps you awake.

(and I got this tip from Rick Steves on staying there...so want to give proper credit)

Just avoid the Calvados :)

Our D-Day tour guide told us about how the American soldiers would trade provisions, including gasoline, to the locals for Calvados. Finally they realized that they should just keep the gasoline because drinking Calvados is very similar to drinking gasoline.

Not quite, but my wife took one sip of Calvados and agreed with this. There is also something called Pammeau which is like a smoother and sweeter version of Calvados.
