    Our parkup next to the town of Thaon reveals a hidden church that dates back to Roman times. It seems to be a local hidden secret as it is not well signposted but that adds to its charm and is a great example of what vanlife can bring you. The following day having Harry spent the night parked next to a BIG sleeping companion we head for Juno Beach where the Canadian force came ashore. A quick look at Gold Beach and the remains of a Mulberry Harbour completes the day before we struggle a little to find a parkup for the night so head inland.

    That church you found at the start was in such a remote place, no roads to it or buildings around it, just a piece of history there to be stumbled upon, just love it 👍💕

    • @getawaygeese
      @getawaygeese  2 місяці тому

      It was a hidden gem and not really advertised - just wish I could of gone in as it was also so old with it back to Roman times - thanks for watching hope you are well

    Loved the church at the beginning and that lovely walk . Have found your new found confidence for in travelling in France really encouraging. That museum experience looked really good. Thanks for sharing 👍😊

      Yes I have to say the ease of parkups and then facilities makes France a great place - not sure about other countries we will soon find out
      I think I am learning not to over think - worst case I get asked to move I guess
      Thanks for watching

    What a pity you couldn't get inside the church but good to get a view from inside. You drove through some beautiful villages. Juno beach visit was poignant,especially as the D Day commemorations are happening now. Thanks for sharing.

      @getawaygeese  Місяць тому

    What a contrast on Juno beach to the action it saw on D-Day. Could have sat and watched those land yachts all day ❤

      Yes the Normandy beaches are all beautiful in the main and you can see why it was chosen as a gradual slope

      Yes amazing - a relation to my father apparently was in a boat with concrete and scuttled it to help make temp landing structures
      I am glad they are there as a reminder to be honest

      @getawaygeese  2 місяці тому +1

      Thanks for watching - I think it maybe unsafe I am guessing inside it’s a bit of a walk to it - I just couldn’t believe it dared back to Roman times to
