A Trip Of A Lifetime!
It will be impossible for my words to capture the passion, care, professionalism and knowledge that my family experienced on our trip to France with Christy and Philippe. This trip was to celebrate my father's upcoming 90TH birthday. My father loves history. We had the opportunity to visit Normandy, the Loire Valley, Versailles, and Champagne. Every day was filled with amazing adventures, such as visits to Normandy, specifically D-Day beaches, castles, cooking classes, wineries, museums, and gardens. I can honestly say that I am still reflecting with wonder as I scroll through my memory of each day. The most profound days we experienced was during the D-Day beach tours. Listening to the strategies the allies put in place, marking D-Day as the day that turned the tide in favor of the allies in spite of the horrific amount of casualties and being present in the locations were the battles were being fought was somber and heartfelt. Visiting the D-Day cemeteries, German and American encapsulated the contrast in the tone of the war. We learned about the French Dynasties, how wine and champagne are made and stored, along with how to make a variety of amazing appetizers. I highly recommend taking this amazing trip, you will not regret it.
