Le Havre is a city in the northwest region of France situated on the right bank of the mouth of the Seine River.
Le Havre is the gateway to Paris and near the picturesque towns of Rouen & Nonfleur. It is also near Normandy, where British, Canadian & American troops stormed ashore during the D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944. It was the end of Nazi Germany. Omaha Beach has stark white tombstones for nearly 10,000 Americans.
So, you're probably wondering which exciting area I chose to visit. I'm ashamed to admit this is the first time I've been in port & never left the ship. Sadly, our cruise ends tomorrow & I must be out of my cabin by 6 am. Today was dedicated to packing & attending to all the other details of disembarking a ship after 102 days.
I'll post the last travel blog tomorrow.
