    Pegasus Bridge

    September 14, 2023 in France ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Well thems up early this morning as they have to be off site by 10.30 or they'll have to pay for another day. They're heading for Bayeux (of Tapestry fame) by way of the Pegasus Bridge. We are driving along the coast road and starts by going thru Trouville-sur-Mer and Deauvile, a beautiful town with big houses of all different styles.
    Arrive at Benouville home to the Pegasus Bridge Museum and parks up to have a look around. This was a key capture and stronghold in the Normandy DDay invasion, and the original bridge is now in a park alongside an informative museum. Now, neither of them is into WW-2 in a big way, but it was very interesting and was nice to show respect to those who fought and lost their lives for us.
