Paris 19 - 26 June

We have to show pictures of the Tour Eiffel at night and Place de Concorde (with the Arc de Triomphe in the background. But what I really want to post is our Bistro, Le Termius du Chatelet. Javier was a great host.

Giverny 17 and 18 of June

Claude Monet created his water garden at Giverny.  The garden is a beautiful setting for his impressionist paintings.

Honfleur and Pegasus Demi-marathon

Honfleur is a beautiful port city. The Pegasus Demi-marathon is also known as the D-Day half marathon. It starts at the Pegasus bridge which the British troops took. It ends at the Caen Memorial. Nugget the chicken and Betty the cat have an understanding... :)



D-Day beaches 13th of June

We saw the British landing site at Arromanches (port Winston). Saw a 360 degree movie about the landing. Omaha beach and the American cemetery were moving. The Longues-sur-Mer gun battery was  interesting.



Mont Saint Michel 11 and 12th of June

The Abby of Mont Saint Michel was spectacular. We started eating she'll fish now that we arrived at the coast.
