Places to see in ( Deauville - France ) Trouville sur Mer
If those French literary giants, Flaubert and Proust, approved, Trouville must have style. As to Monet and his Norman master, Boudin, they painted memorable scenes of 19th century bourgeois in their finery promenading along the broad beachfront here. In fact, Trouville was one of the first-ever coastal resorts to be developed in France. Artists may have started the trend for coming here, but by the time of Emperor Napoleon III, from the mid 19th century on, the rich and fashionable flocked to Trouville too. They ordered grand villas and palaces of entertainment, like the glitzy casino.
Trouville casino was built surprisingly close to the lively fishing port, backed by a classic covered fish market, with lively seafood restaurants all around. Scallops, sole, prawns and mackerel are traditional specialities. The lively port area draws the crowds, particularly for the Wednesday and Sunday markets. You’ll also find typical seaside shops.
Wander up the slope into the winding lanes to enjoy the calmer side of Trouville, as well as characterful 19th century architecture. Culture vultures can find their fill in the galleries around town. Back beside the sea, Trouville’s strand was declared ‘Queen of Beaches’ in the past and is still greatly appreciated by bathers and walkers today. Elating trips out to sea or relaxing thalassotherapy sea-water treatements are also on the cards here.
Marguerite Duras, perhaps France’s most famous female writer of the 20th century, was a great cultural figure who became a devotee of Trouville, spending her summers here. She said that everyone she had ever met who had come to the resort for a first time said they dreamt of returning.

EL MUSEO BIG RED ONE (Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandía)
¡Activad los subtítulos, guripas!
La Primera División de Infantería Americana, conocida como THE BIG RED ONE, es la unidad militar estadounidense más antigua de las que siguen hoy en activo. Su leyenda se forjó en Francia durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, cuando nació el símbolo que acabaría apodando a la división: el parche con un gran 1 rojo.
No hay duda de que estamos ante una de las unidades más famosas de las que desembarcaron y combatieron en Normandía. Para conocer más sobre la división hoy visitamos el museo BIG RED ONE en Colleville, gracias a que su director PIERRE-LOUIS GOSSELIN se ofreció a guiarnos a través de las piezas de su magnífica colección.

American Cemetery and Memorial, Normandy, France.
This is a video of the American Cemetery and Memorial in Normandy. The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France is located on the site of the temporary American St. Laurent Cemetery, established by the U.S. First Army on June 8, 1944 and the first American cemetery on European soil in World War II. The cemetery site, at the north end of its half mile access road, covers 172.5 acres and contains the graves of 9,387 of US military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. On the Walls of the Missing, in a semicircular garden on the east side of the memorial, are inscribed 1,557 names.
The visitors brochure can be found at
The US and Germans place their dead in a few large sites. The British place their and Commonwealth dead in smaller sites. I'll leave the viewer to decide which is the nest approach - they are all both beautiful and sad places of rest for those who died for us. I've posted vids of Cemetery's from all three countries. For other vids of these and other D-Day sites search on g4shf D-Day.
Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Day 3 Le Havre/Normandy Beaches 1/09/18
Today we docked in the French port of Le Havre and embarked on a major trip to visit the Normandy Beaches and the World War 2 Invasion sites. After a hiccup at the port our group of 8 got going and had an amazing time.
First stop was at Omaha Beach, followed by the Omaha Museum. Next we went to the American Cemetery which we all found very moving and impressive. Next we had a short stop to see 4 German Bunkers before coming to Arromaches Beach where the British forces landed. Other stops after this included Bayeux to see the famous Tapestry and the Cathedral, and also the beautiful village of Honfleur.
This was a very busy day but we got to see so much thanks to our stand in driver! Enjoy.
