Thanks for this very nice presentation of Normandy. In Caen it is possible to visit the 2 abbeys and the castle.
Many people forget the sacrifice of some many young Russian soldiers on the. East front during the war. Without it how many more allied soldiers would gave their lives during overlord operations on the Normandy Landing beaches.

Those interested in d-day, go to the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, NC and check out the exhibits pertaining to d-day. Plus, providing you have i. d, you can check out the 82d Airborne museum war museum at nearby Fort Bragg and it has informative exhibits.

From a German perspective, Normandy and Bretagne are outlandish in a way but also absolutely gorgeous areas. The people were always nice, the food is amazing and on top there is the sea and a lot of history to discover! Cheers to the french people, I envy them a bit.

Very good travelogues - thank you Rick. Your pronunciation of place names needs a little work. But very informative and nicely balanced between culture and pleasure. As an Englishman living in the south of France, I'm surprised how much I enjoy your series.

As Rick spreads out his arms on the field to initiate his introduction to the location and says: friendly locals
the camera zooms on a flock of sheep grazing and bleating behind him.
Speaking of bad timing: -)
Love you rick, you are the best!

D-Day was hardly the largest military operation in history. It was the largest amphibious operation ever, but the honor of the largest military operation ever goes to Barbarossa, the USSR invasion by nazi Germany.

Thanks for the tour Rick! Normandy is such a beautiful spot and yet one can't help feeling an open wound when gazing at its open beaches. So much pain, grief and loss - never to be forgotten.

Don't bother visiting the Memorial de Caen, as it is mostly just a museum filled with pictures and not artifacts of D-Day. Best to hire a local guide to tour the Normandy beaches.

And the people love Americans. We visited in 2016 and could not believe how great the reception was. They teach their kids history which we need to do here in the states

I'm from NYC, a very modern city. Seeing French streets and buildings without everything being squares, rectangles, and 90 degree angles is very pleasing to my eye.
