    Fantastic photos. The French like to forget about a lot of their Second World War history, but never the D-Day landings – “le débarquement”. A little warning for those who want to visit Saint-Michel – Reorganised parking is over 2K from the island, and the parking charges a bit excessive (even though won’t break the bank), and it’s a long walk to get there, before climbing the tiny lanes, towards the summit, if you don’t have patience to wait for la navette (shuttle bus). Ex pat Ulsterman, living in the north of France, in Valenciennes, which was liberated in Sept ’44, by US 30th Div 3Old Hickory”. Bon weekend from “Chez les Ch’tis”, and thanks to all the vets.
