We’re traveling from Paris to Normandy along the Seine.

Sounds like a wonderful cruise. I wish now I had taken the two-day bus tour of Normandy instead the the one-day. Back then the two-day tour took you to the D-Day beaches and St. Laurent Cemetery on the first day, then the second day you visited Mont Saint-Michele and Bayeux, to view the Bayeux Tapestry (Battle of Hastings).

I have a great-uncle from Canada who died in WWI, and is buried in Terlincthun British Cemetery which is in the northern outskirts of Boulogne. I would have liked to have gotten there on that trip but time wouldn't allow it.

We took this cruise last September. It was glorious, and the day at the Normandy beaches was unforgettable. The American cemetery is something that will move you to the core of your soul.
