Then, travel to Normandy, where World War II comes alive at the Memorial Museum for Peace, the American Cemetery at Omaha Beach, and at Sainte Mere Eglise with its poignant parachute memorial. Next up: Mont St. Michel, a scenic drive across Brittany to the 13th-century castle at Angers, and the Loire Valley for a special included 'chateaux day.'
