Yes. I think that a visit to These cemetaries, all of them, should be mandatory to teach people the madness of war...

This video was incredible! I visited Bayeux in April 2023. From there, I visited the Normandy beaches and the Bayeux War Cemetery. I miss Bayeux, the beauty, the history.. I cannot wait to return someday soon. Thank you for making this amazing video

This was a breathtaking video. Somber and very thoughtfully presented. We appreciated the inclusion of the Canadian cemetary as we are Canadians in Toronto. We love all of your vlogs & would love to see out of Paris videos.

Another great video. I’ve been blessed with the privilege of hiking the Normandy coast and countryside several times. My father’s brother is buried in the Normandy American Cemetery (KIA 06/10/44). Thank you!!!

Visiting this cemetary is so moving. It always reminds me the last scene of "Saving Private Ryan": "Tell me I'm a good man"

This was one of the best places I ever visited. I didn’t expect it to be as emotional for me to be there. Very powerful experience and Bayeaux (sp?) was a fantastic place to stay and explore. Nice restaurants, lovely charming places to stay. See the tapestry too

@@paristoptipsAnd that outdoor market I think you showed in your video was a standout! My husband and I were there the second week of March, 2020, the beginning of Covid setting in and the streets were almost completely empty. The beaches at Normandy too. The whole thing was super memorable. We went to St. Malo and Mont St Michel from there. The parking lot at Mont St Michel was empty by then and the whole thing felt like a Twilight Zone episode. We had to hightail it back to Paris and get a new flight since ours was canceled due to Covid. An unusual time to be there for sure.

Indeed, a monk, Dom Aubourg, having warned the Americans that the Germans had deserted Bayeux, this town was not bombarded during the landing.
