And in true French fashion, Parisian women were on their backs using their legs to make the V for Victory sign.

I have a wonderful 94 year old neighbor from Lille. Her father, an electrician for a mining company and a World War I vet, tried to get them out at Dunkirk but could not. They walked down but we’re turned away and had to walk back. His wife and two daughters spent the next three years indoors so they would not be raped by Nazis.

Her husband was a prominent French economist, and when he died of wounds related to his war service, she came to America. Started out as a hairstylist in Palm Beach, went to college, became a French professor, retired at 75.

Get outside of Paris and the French are great. Dordogne is probably my favorite place outside the US. Boar hunting, eating what you kill (with someone’s grandfather’s gun handed down through generations b/c of the gun laws), fresh vegetables and mushrooms, and homemade red wine.

France ( like Germany) has already been ruined by its “elite” . The UK is in the on deck circle. America bats third.

Great movies aside.

Normandy was fantastic. I saw more American flags flying in the region than you’ll see in many parts of the US.

My favorite is Correze. All of the above and then some. Also, Correze is not overrun with Brits! I have a lifetime hunting license in France and have bought all the guns I want or need there.
