Logistics

If you have a few days to spend in the Normandy region, I would recommend driving from Paris to Étretat and spending a night (or a few!) either there or in Le Havre.  I would then spend a few nights in Caen while doing day trips to the D-Day beaches. Mont Saint-Michele is also doable as a day trip from Caen. 

Caen

Caen is a centrally located and larger city in the Normandy region. I'd recommend staying in Caen if you want to stay in the same place your whole trip to Normandy. There are numerous restaurants, museums, and nightlife in Caen. However, you will need a car to get around the region from here and some places require a few hours of driving from Caen. 

Caen
@MarissaMeanderstheWorld
Caen is about a 3 hour drive from Paris or 2 hours by train. Caen also has an airport, but only has flights from the South of France (perfect if you're doing a tour of both French coasts).
