End of Paris + Normandy

Here are a few favourite pictures from the end of Joe and my time in Paris, and our day trip to Normandy. We took a tour of Normandy with a hilarious Dutchman who hated Belgians and made really racy jokes, but was incredibly informative and knowledgeable on WW2 history. Despite it really being something I did for Joe, I ended up finding our day trip really moving and would recommend it even if you are not so fascinated by WW2.
