Mistake number 1 is to visit Paris

avez vous visiter le puy du fou ? reconnu comme meilleur parc du monde, j'espère que vous y ferrez une vidéo

My husband’s father was in the Army and fought at Omaha Beach on D-Day. Very emotional experience for us to be there and honor him. He survived the battle and served in the army intelligence as a German speaker and also served as an interpreter at the Nuremberg trials. A full tilt boogie war experience.

One of the best side trips we did from Paris. Stayed in Bayeaux and went to Omaha Beach, great time also in Bayeaux. Took the train to St. Malo from there and went to Mont St. Michel from there by bus. Train back to Paris. A perfect trip

Do you think you can do a video about things to do in Caen please

What a handsome guy your son is! It was a treat to have him included in this video.

Sombre reminder of the true cost of war. You said war brings peace, I just wish peace brought peace. My grandparents lived through both World Wars, but never really talked about it. Could never imagine what the veterans endured and had to live with.

Normandy always makes me so proud to be Canadian. It is profoundly depressing how much people in the US have forgotten the young, dead boys in the ground that fought for freedom from the Nazis. Sadly, so many Americans want to vote for a guy that parrots Hitler when he speaks.

@10:05 I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this will happen again. I know this because humankind is a war mongerer that will submit to its basest instincts.

You're a beacon of hope! 🌟 ° "Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."

Un voyage très émouvant

2:30 I am curious to know if your children speak french, english, or both? What a chance they have to have parents so cool. l And probably the double citizenship and language.

Seeing the clip of Bayeux makes me sad. All my life I've wanted to see the Bayeux Tapestry, and it's about to be closed indefinitely for restoration work, and I was really hoping I could manage to get to France this year and see it before it closes, but alas, it didn't work out.

This video reminds me of the day trip to Giverny in 2017. We visited the small church where Monet was buried. I was surprised to see graves with British national flags there and asked the tour guide. He said that these are the burial sites of six British pilots who lost their lives on D-Day Beach and none of them were above 19 years old. I just couldn’t hold my tears because my son was right beside me and he was about the same age at that time! At that moment I just thought what Colleen had said in the video “hoping that nothing like this ever happens again”. I guess moms are moms, right? 😊 Thank you again for the great video.❤

I always want to go to D-Day Beach. Thanks for the video! ❤ BTW, your son looks so much like his mom!

May our brave heroes rest in eternal peace I would cry if I went there

We didn’t have a chance to go to Normandy last time in France, I guess we have to arrange a trip there after saw this nice video

We Love you. We are avid fans and wait for your videos to come out! We have one request--Please Please slow down and allow the video scenes to play longer so we can take them in. We often see a beautiful place only to see it instantly clipped and gone. Let us savor the beauty and info longer--please. Thank you so much for all you do! ❤️

I would love one of Colleen’s red scarves!! I love wearing scarves!!

France is so beautiful. I've been there four times and I never want to leave.

What i got out of the whole video:Paris is not a safe place

Everytime I watch this episode I keep laughing at the “No one can resist my Schweddy Balls” mug on your desk😂😂😂

Thank you for sharing this beautiful place and bringing your son along!

I'm the oldest daughter of an American WWII vet who himself was the third son and only one still alive at the start of the war. My paternal grandmother lost one son to illness and a second to a suspicious drowning incident. Yet the Army drafted her only remaining son for service in WW II, and he went. Luckily he came home. He's gone many years now, but that generation saved the world. Not sonething to be forgotten.

Thanks for sharing. This is on my bucket list!

On my bucket list for sure.

Our sons, 16 and 30 said Normandy was their favorite part of our trip. I AGREE!!! Having them there tore my wife up also. Seeing the caravans and crowds on your trip was crazy. We never saw more than 10 other people in March.

This is absolutely perfect timing! Half of our trip in France is going to be to in Normandy specifically to see this history. This is helping me plan so much better

Thank you for sharing this video before Memorial Day. A touching reminder of the cost of freedom.

what does this run for 2 people?

Wonderful

I don't know how people can not be affected when visiting a memorial cemetery honoring the young men/women killed in action during a war. Thanks for letting us visit Nomandy with you

Great to see your son. Those Mulberry ports were well-made, parts are still there 80 years later.

Thank you Canada 🇨🇦 thank you 🇬🇧 for standing up to the Nazis

Spent several days in Bayeau last year at the end of our visit to Paris. Beautiful town, would do it again. Tours to the beaches and WWII museums originate there. Dad landed on Utah as part of the first wave. He always told me that from there he toured Europe by crawling on his belly. He also told me that those French have a really strong wine they call Calvados! Toasted his memory with some.

I commented on the last normandy video asking for another fees cool that it came true

We will be in Paris soon. Like you, we are an American woman, French man, couple. My husband was born & raised in the Paris suburbs. We will definitely take some of your bistro suggestions. Merçi!

❤️🌞🙏🏻

I love your videos. I studied in Brittany over 30 years ago and your channel makes me want to visit all over again.

Saw this video only 4 days after actually taking a day trip there from Paris. We are going back sometime and spending more time there.

So many great videos!!! Thank you for sharing! 😊

We all should pay respects for the RUSSIANS for winining WW2. If Germany wasnt busy fighting RUSSIA. D day would never have happened.

Thank you for the video and paying your respects. Normandy is a very emotional place for me. Cheers

The last sweet you had, with meringue? I did not catch what it is called in Paris. My mother made it every year and called it divinity. You can purchase it occasionally in a bakery in the US but I have found them to be overly sweet and sticky. A good meringue is not sticky but (like the outer shell of a macaron ) should be dry and crumble. There are quite a number of reasons I wish she was still here. Taking her to Paris and Rome tops my list and her divinity doesn’t earn a top ten spot. They were good! But I would skip ever having her sweets to have her here with me.

Remembering me when i was at school ,we did the tour and at Bénouville WE had the chance to meet a british soldier who participated in the operation to free the bridge, what a lucky day for us, even the teachers were so happy, eternal thx to all soldiers.

Wonderful video. Thank you.

Thanks from thé hart to love so loving our country!!!!!!!!!!

A great video. It brings back memories of when I took my two sons to the Normandy beaches several times when they were in their teens. Oh, and fun fact. I conducted a concert in the church in St Aubin sur Mer many years ago. A beautiful place.

My wife and I did a whole trip just to Normandy. We stayed at a local chateau and rented a car. As an American, It was very emotional. We took a bus tour of the beaches and some museums one day. Our tour guide was amazing. It’s something everyone should do once in their life. The memories will stay with you forever.

Peace to the world!
