Day 3: NORMANDY BEACHES

Location : Normandy, France

We drive through the beautiful French countryside en route to the Normandy Beaches. The 54 miles of Atlantic stretching from Utah Beach in the west to Sword Beach in the east — are littered with WWII museums, monuments, cemeteries, and battle remains left in tribute to the courage of the British, Canadian, and American armies that successfully carried out the largest military operation in history: D-Day. On these serene beaches, at the crack of dawn on June 6, 1944, the Allies finally gained a foothold in France; from this moment, Nazi Europe was destined to crumble. This morning, we drive through beautiful Normandy scenery toward Omaha Beach, where we see the American Memorial and Cemetery. We celebrate Mass near Omaha Beach and remember our brave, fallen soldiers. We return to Lisieux for dinner and an overnight stay. (B.D)

Day 4: ROUEN – PARIS

Location : Rouen, France

After breakfast, we drive to Paris, stopping first in Rouen, where we retrace the footsteps of St. Joan of Arc. Rouen offers a restored medieval quarter and a magnificent Gothic cathedral, Notre-Dame, often painted by Claude Monet. Throughout its turbulent history, the city was destroyed several times. During the Middle Ages, it was devastated by fire and the plague. The English occupied it during the Hundred Years’ War when the French heroine Joan of Arc (Jeanne d’Arc) was tried for heresy and burned at the stake in the central square in 1431. During WWII, Allied bombing raids laid waste to large parts of the city, especially the area south of the cathedral. Still, the city has undergone meticulous rebuilding over the last six decades. We tour the city on foot, celebrate Mass at the Church of St. Joan of Arc, and see where she was brutally murdered. We have lunch at La Couronne, the restaurant where Julia Child had such a fantastic meal that she decided to become a chef. After lunch, we continue to Paris, where we settle into our hotel. Dinner is at leisure tonight with the opportunity to explore Parisian cafe food. Overnight in Paris. (B. Special lunch)

Tonight we see the light show at the Eiffel Tower from the upper deck of the ship or the lounge. Dinner will be served on the ship. We enjoy seeing Paris at night. Overnight in Paris. (B. Special dinner on the Seine River cruise)

Following Mass in Lourdes, we depart for Toulouse, where Dominic of Osma founded the Dominican Order. The Jacobin Church was the heart of life and a teaching center in the 12th century, and now it is the place where St. Thomas Aquinas is buried. Standing majestically in the city’s heart, the massive Gothic structure contains the tomb and the saint’s relics. We have a guided tour of the church.
