This year’s 6 June celebration brought royalties, presidents and veterans from all over the world to the beaches in Normandie to commemorate.

That day marked the turning point of WWII but it wasn’t without the sacrifices of tens of thousands dead and even more lamed soldiers and civilians, entire cities in Normandie annihilated by the allies bombs and hundreds of thousands homeless as a result.

It’s difficult to imagine that there existed a time before Eurostar – the fast train that take the Parisians from door to door – under the canal – to London in 2 hours and 20 min. With the time difference one even gains an extra hour on the way over. Because of the rocketing housing prices in London, more and more Frenchmen have decided to commute daily.
