The Abbey at Mont Saint Michel is one of the most impressive locations I have visited in the 30 odd countries I have visited! The location and the history are fascinating and the quaint shops and restaurants make it a perfect place to visit on a (long) day trip from Paris by fast train. Exploring the abbey was one of the highlights of my trip and I highly recommend it to anyone although the stairs and steepness of the site may challenge some.

Much is written about the troops that came ashore on the beaches. What is less written is the work of the paratroopers to take and secure the areas inland that would allow access to the main road system. Since much of the area between the beaches and the main roads was marshland, it was important that the roads that did connect were captured and held so that the huge number of troops and the massive amount of equipment that was needed for the march to Paris could be moved. If you are interested in the Airborne troops, this is really an important place. As a note, if you have time, there is a small church directly across the river that has a beautiful stained glass window honoring the troops.
