Caen: Walking in the Footsteps of Excellence
... heart threw a pre-crusades party in this room. I was pretty stoked to stand where he'd stood and breathe the air he breathed and I might have history fangirled out a bit and squealed, which scared the old British couple touring with me. I'm going to guess that since Ric*************heart was such a pursuer of excellence, that his excellenceness preserved the hall.
After William's Chateau, I had to head to the OFII office, which was pretty uneventful. I ...
A D-Day Education in Caen
... spent over 5 hours and still felt like we were rushing. Exhibits are divided into The World Before 1945, The World After 1945 and D-Day. The Battle of Normandy is depicted particularly well.

They were very helpful and set us on our way on the D63, which turned into the D13, ...
Joan of Arc to William the Conqueror
I'm back in France again, this time planning to explore the Atlantic coast and hinterland. I start off in Amiens and stay at the Hotel Central Anzac. Just goes to show how little I know about the First World War, but it's named this to attract the large numbers of Australians (and I guess New Zealanders) who visit the battlefields nearby (the Somme, Villers-Brettoneux, etc),where Australian troops fought - the receptionist actually asks me if I'm there for this reason, and I ...
