Hey! I was just in Paris a couple of months ago. It was beautiful! I was disappointed in Notre Dame. I found it to be dreary and honestly nothing special. I was much more intrigued by Sacre Couer (Sacred Heart). It is beautiful and sits on top of a hill so you get a great view of the city. And you must must must go to the Louvre. It has beautiful religious paintings and was my favorite part of my trip there. Hope you are well!

This bike tour is great. When I went, they had both day and night tour, do both if you can! They are a little costly, but it is totally worth it for many reasons:

1 - Do this tour as soon as you can once you are in town. It quickly orientates you around town, plus it give you a taste of all the tourist destinations so that you can decide which ones seem interesting to you.

2 - they are pretty funny, mostly younger cool people go, so they have fun tourist facts they you would not hear on your standard tour.

3 - if you are traveling alone, it is a good way to meet other people to hang out with while you are in town

Funny! Last time I checked, Lourdes was in the south of France, and Bayeux in the north - that's around 600 miles or more, I reckon.

You might find this brief set of France regional guides useful, but at least check your map before following Athanasius contra mundum's advice!

If you are going to Lourdes, then Bayeux and Mont St. Michel are just a short ways away. You can see the Bayeux tapestry which tells the story of the Battle of Hastings where the Normans took over England.
Bon Voyage! Have fun!
