Best Western Grand Htl Luxembourg Bayeux

This last weekend my program's group traveled to Normandy and Brittany. It was a very cool trip! On Saturday we drove from Paris to Caen, Normandy. We visited the Memorial de Caen, which is a museum/memorial from WWII. Caen was a city during WWII that was occupied by the Germans, and it was a major victory when the Allies were able to seize it. After Caen, we drove on to Omaha Beach to the American ...

Next stop were we stepping back in time even further...to 1066 to be exact and the battle of Hastings which is deplicated on a 70 m piece of embroidded cloth known as the Bayeux taperstry. On entry to the tapestry you are given an audio guide which provides a running commentry on what is ...

We had a busy day ahead so we set our alarm for 7am as its still dark at that time and so getting out of bed early has not been easy. I woke to the smell of coffee brewing and scrambled eggs in bed. The deal is I drive and Kim cooks. <br><br>After breakfast we walked over to the beach and on this beautiful sunny morning we found it hard to imagine the blood shed that occurred in 1944. From ...

Arrived at Ouistreham just before dark and found an Aire de Service right on the beach and this time it was free! The downside was it was right next to the ferry terminal and the 6am ferry to Portmouth the next day was kill the tranquilo the next morning. Kim's Maison du Scooby cooked up a storm. Pork fajitas on rice - delicious. I gave it 5 stars.

... many. My French guide made the comment as we explored Normandy... "I may have been speaking German now to you if it were not for those that fought here." Their sacrifice affects many, and touches many... as my guide gave us the details of the American Cemetery, the Australian man next to me had to excuse himself. There is not much else to say, but, Thank you.

... documentaries were shown on television.<br>Yvette, who now lived in a town about 100 miles from St.-Mère-Église, was watching one of these, when the microphone was put in front of a man who said he had been a paratrooper saved by a beautiful French girl in the back garden of her house. Yvette realized this was Cliff<br>Maugham, who she had thought of frequently through the years. Somehow, the documentary crew found out about Yvette, brought her up to St.-Mère-Église, and ...

... groups. I'm amazed at how they will stand in front of a crucifix, arms outstretched, and smiling or flashing peace signs at the camera.<br><br>We were back on the coach by 11:30 for the drive to Bayeux. Since it was so close to lunch when we left, we stopped at a Shell station (!) and had lunch at the cafeteria. It was a full-service cafeteria, and there was an espresso stand as well. The cafeteria had a plat du jour, and several<br>different plate lunch options. I had ...

The Invasion of Normandy We joined the Overlord Tour and started at Omaha Beach - it was a full day at the beaches, cemeteries and retracing Easy Companies steps. We drove the beach and our tour driver explained where the pillboxes and machine gun emplacements were located. It was amazing soldiers actually made it ashore - the placements would have cris-crossed the fire zone, making this one hell of a place to be on 6 June 44. The ...
