This morning’s Paris skyline at 7:30am…so many jet streams…can’t recall seeing this, anywhere. Ever.

Two nearly-four-hour bus/walking tours today. Midday lunch break back onboard boat. Our final day. Tomorrow we taxi to Disneyland Paris.

Caudebec France-day 2, mind

Normandy d-day map
Today’s 10.5 hour bus excursion takes us to Normandy.
17-second video: Three minutes into our bus tour.

Last night we had a Normandy Invasion presentation. The French presenter is a granddaughter of WWI grandfathers. She’s also the daughter of a WWII father. Currently a local tour guide and Normandy war subject matter expert.

She teed us up with insightful context for today’s sights.

Note: Our presenter is a Normandy native.
