Normandy

Day 6 is a very important day in Cherbourg and its surrounding area. The 29th is when Cherbourg was freed from Nazi occupation by the allied forces during World War 2. The allies Canada and U.S. arrived on Normandy’s shores on the 6th (D-Day) but different areas were liberated on different days. Thus, starting from the 6th of June, pennant chains are to be seen everywhere. They feature the U.S.-American, Canadian, British and French flag and are hung everywhere in the sake of remembrance. In the village, that is part of Cherbourg, where we decided, the celebration was carried out with a festival where plays and musical performances were held. It was a blast visiting the celebration!Les mer
