Cafe Gondree

Cafe Gondree
One of the reasons for visiting Normandy was to see the D-Day sites and our visit took place, fittingly, on the eightieth anniversary of the D-Day landings. The Cafe Gondree and the nearby Pegasus Bridge were the location of the first combat on D-Day and Benouville, the village in which the cafe is located, was the first village liberated by the Thirteenth British Paratroop Battalion. We had coffee at the cafe before exploring the village and the nearby memorial and museum.

Good to see you back again, Ron. These images are a marvellous start and mean far more to me than you might expect, as my late father-in-law was one of the Paras who jumped in very shortly after the initial landing of the gliders and he was involved in the action there.
