Message: [QUOTE="Viet Vet, post: 4812972, member: 8688"] Have been twice. Bayeux is centrally located, the Bayeux Tapestry is not to be missed. If WW II is of interest, I heartily suggest renting a car and taking at least two days to visit all five D-Day Beaches. You'll be moved as you travel through all the small villages that fly the French trois colours along with the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes. Have your photo taken along with your name written in the sand at each beach. You'll appreciate it later. We visited all five of the participating nations' cemeteries; French, UK, Canadien, US, Polish (a bit farther inland near Falaise) and German. Do NOT miss the German cemetery. It has 22,000 graves, and the story of its origin is touching. Ike gets the credit for persuading the French to donate the site. [/QUOTE]
