The American blockbuster "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Longest Day" were filmed here

Because of Normandy, France, I've watched "The Longest Day" twice... Normandy is a region in France with rich history, unique culture, and beautiful natural scenery. Located in northwestern France, it borders the English Channel to the north, facing England across the sea. ✅Important WWII Battlefield: On June 6, 1944, Allied forces conducted a large-scale landing operation in Normandy, known as the famous "D-Day". This decisive battle in WWII opened the second front in Europe and accelerated the fall of Nazi Germany. ✅Architectural Style: [CityDusk]Normandy boasts many distinctive buildings. Its Gothic-style churches are particularly unique, such as Rouen Cathedral, one of France's largest churches, renowned for its exquisite sculptures and stained glass. [Wine][Tea]Cuisine: Normandy offers a rich and diverse culinary scene, famous for seafood, dairy products, and apple-based delicacies. Local seafood includes oysters, scallops, crabs, and more, all fresh and delicious.

🏰🌊 Mont Saint-Michel | A dream island above high tide When the bus drove into the Normandy coast, the floating island and the monastery spire were seen from afar 👣Walking through the narrow cobblestone streets, lined with ancient hotels, bakeries, and small souvenir shops, it felt like being in Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. 📌Small travel notes: * ⏰ Be sure to check the high and low tide times, and witness the sea water surrounding the island with your own eyes, it's super shocking! *Be prepared to climb a lot of stairs and wear comfortable shoes * 🚆 Transportation: Take a train from Paris to Rennes, then transfer to a shuttle bus for about 1 hour #MontSaintMichel #圣Michel山 #法国旅行 #梦境之岛 #旅行的意义 #SlowTravel #时间停止地方
