- We're really starting to wish that we had left more time to see more of Normandy before the weather really turns as there is just so much to see and do. In this video we leave Etretat and drive to the D-Day landing beaches where we stay over in the town of Courseulles-sur-Mer - aka Juno beach - where more than 14,000 Canadians stormed the 8-kilometre stretch between Courseulles-sur-Mer and St. Aubin-sur-Mer on 6 June 1944.
We also visit the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France, that honors American troops who died in Europe during World War II. It is located on the site of the former temporary battlefield cemetery of Saint Laurent, covers 172.5 acres and contains 9,388 burials.

In 2017 we took stock of our life and made the decision to 'retire early'. We gave up our professional careers and all our personal possessions in order to explore the world as full-time nomads. Over the past two years, we have been travelling through Europe with our 21-year-old Motorhome. Please subscribe to follow along and join us on our adventure!

PLEASE REMEMBER:
We make vlogs, not travel guides. We don't film everything we see or do. Our videos cannot tell every story or show every place we visit. Our videos are merely a short snippet of sometimes a week's worth of life on the road and it's intended to show our experience as full-time travelers. As we're constantly on the move it's also not always possible to take the time to research every single location. We really appreciate when people offer us advice or make suggestions for our next visit. Please don't make assumptions or be rude. To us or to each other.

@@WeWillNomad ahaha maybe one day we can persuade you to if we bump into you ahah ! Have a great week
Very moving vlog. We stopped off in Normandy on our way back from Spain with our caravan. Apart from the vast cemetaries of war graves we also came across a surprising number of cemetaries with just half a dozen or so graves while tootling around on our bikes. Also surprising was a large cemetary near Dunkirk which was divided in 2, German soldiers in one half and Allied in the other. In the Allied section there were also the graves of Egyptian soldiers .
Thank you. We usually find it difficult to film and include visiting these memorial sites in our videos. There's so much tragedy and we don't want to trivialize places like this and make it into 'tourist sites' . But we still want to go there for our own reasons, and we want to take our audience along.
😢 A Sad place indeed
I was born 2 months before that part of the War "ended "
But in my almost 79 years there has been War on some Continent.. Greed and Intolerance Unfortunately there's no Money in Peace
We Have a Beautiful Planet 😊
THE LAST WORD EVER SPOKEN ..WHY 😢
Stay Free and Safe Travels 😀 🙏 ✨
Thanks Mike. Yes, it seems humans never learn from the past. 😧
@@WeWillNomad looking forward to San Mont Michel I passed it many times but never did visit
Rich men's war, poor men's blood
@@frankfurter726 well put 👏 👌
Shame you did not see the famous Bayeux tapestry.
How so?
❤
