Trip started at Monet’s Garden in Givenchy, visited the D-Day beaches (including serendipitous stop in the village of Quineville) and Mont St. Michele. We then traveled through ancestral towns of XXX, XXX, and stopped in Angers on the way to Chenehutte from which Michel LeMay departed in 1653 for Quebec in New France.
