Wow - nice bit of history there, guys.  Thanks for sharing your travels with us.  Imagine if you could superimpose pictures from D-Day onto your own.  What would you see?

Thank you so much for sharing the photos and info!  :phone:So sorry about your little girl!!! ? Bless her heart ouchie!    Next trip we make to France will include 3 days staying on Normandy beach (Airbnb) to reflect and honor the lost and wounded from that epic battle to save Europe from Tyranny and Fascism. :scooter:I do love France, hell of a 20th century they dealt with (World War 1 and World War 2), and the food, omg the food and wine... ?:wine:

Frenchi/vhs get the snails coated in garlic, the frogs legs fattened, the raw liver chopped and cut your nails before treading the wine, basils on her way give her a taste of France.
