In the middle of our sejour in Paris, we took a little trip to Normandy to see the American D-Day sights. These included St. Maire Eglise (church in city where paratroopers landed), Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, and the American cemetery. Our French guide, Bertrand, took us all over the Norman coast in his little Peugeot. It was awesome!
Best part: crawling on our stomachs to climb inside a real life WWII tank and adjust the gun.
Most excellent! I hope you paid your respects to the honorable men and women who gave their lives.
