Planning a holiday in France. Will be arriving by train from another European country into Paris, where we can hire a car to drive to the coast. At the moment we're thinking somewhere in Normandy as it seems to be a shorter car journey from Paris than to Brittany.
We want a week at the beach to relax, read, go for walks, enjoy the scenery, eat good food etc. We speak French so it doesn't need to be an overly Anglophone-tourist-heavy area. Ideally we would like a town at a nice beach with some shops, restaurants and life to it. Nothing extremely rural. A major plus if there is a nice bakery for fresh bread and treats!
Have tried looking online to find somewhere but it's overwhelming, so any recommendations would be welcome please!
