Thinking of going to frace for a week. was thinking would it be possible to do the 2 and what would be the best way to do it ?

First of all, what do you mean by the south of France? It%26#39;s a MASSIVE area.

It would be almost impossible to find any 2 areas of France that are further apart from each other.
Although ultimately it is up to you what you decide to do, MY advice is to hire a car, spend time touring the D Day beaches and Museums yourselves, and then visit other parts of Normandy and Brittany. There is a lot to see in these regions, and both have some fantastic beaches. It is a part of France where you can easily find plenty to fill 1 week, (or 2 or 3 weeks even!)
Reserve the South for another visit, when you can do it full justice.
IF you still decide you want to spend some time in North and South, look for a flight to cover the distance, Driving will realistically take you 2 days, and train also takes much time, so by the time you get to the South, it will be time to turn around and come back again!

Well I agree with just about everything that Essexwanderer says. I always think people should give Normandy at least a week, but very few do. However, train services from Normandy to Paris are good and then the TGV to the south is excellent. We have done Bayeux to Nimes in 8 hours. There are no local airports that fly to the south, so by the time you have driven from Basse Normandie to Paris or Beauvais, checked in and then flown to the south, the train will be just as quick.
