A trip through Northwestern France

We had been to France on a 1995 trip from Paris to the Loire Valley and back east to Chênehutte-Trèves-Cunault. It was the 70th anniversary of the liberation of France so we decided to tour the northeast and finally see the Normandy Memorial and wonderful sites along the way.
