Remembering D-Day

Bonjour from Chateau de Vaulaville! The first destination of our European Road Trip 2015 is Normandy. This has been on our traveling wish list and we couldn't be happier that our friends, Jenna & Steve have joined us.
Our D-Day tour started bright and early Monday morning. Here is Emma at one of the German gun batteries in Longues-sur-Mer
