smallhobbitThe third day we looked at the campaign after D-Day itself. The pictures below are more a reflection on the trip, rather than things which relate specifically to the day.

The small towns, although catering mainly for tourists who are visiting because of the D-Day connections, in some ways are no different from any other small French town.
