    That is so important that the French kept that town the way it was so that people don't ever forget the horrible atrocities that happened back then! It made me cry. Thank you so much for sharing this.

    I knew the story of oradour sur glane. One of the most harrowing stories I have ever heard amongst many others throughout the war. There was no need for it to happen but war being war.
    God bless to everyone from the village that day. I had a tear in my eye watching it. Thanyou guys for showing it and doing it in a sensitive way. We all worry about our own lives but we should maybe be a bit more thankful for what we have. All the best on your trip and have a safe one.
    Martin & Jennifer.

    The story of the village is heartbreaking. I had never heard of it before. The drone shots of the village really helped understand the story. It's scary that its not that long ago. Very sad.

    To think about the children that were baptized and made their First Communion in that church where they were murdered, incredibly sad.

    Unfortunate but realistic commentary about true events in history.
    On a much lighter note, it was hilarious when Leigh said, very seriously, that his shirt didn't match the scooters they were going on! OMG. LOL. Then when they said they had no "pineapple" for the machine pizza, Leigh said they had "grapes". LOL.

  • @neilhedges461
    @neilhedges461 Місяць тому

    Brilliant vlog guys. The way you covered the ruined town was so respectful. You cannot believe that human beings can be so wicked and have no regard for human life. At only 80 years ago it’s beyond belief that this could happen and it should never be forgotten the atrocities that the Nazi’s perpetrated.

Did these German soldiers live with those sounds of screaming unalive kids for the rest of their days, I bluddy hope so😢😢 I would’ve needed a bottle of wine when I got back to the van, love ya’s, thank you so much for sharing, I never knew this story, ❤❤

    Evening guys, really enjoying your road trip around France, beautiful places you're staying in, and lovely coffee and cakes and pastries. I think they were geese on that farm , super cute, so sad those poor village people that you visited and what was left was a reminder of how many people and children were treated during the war.people are so cruel, I cried when seeing what was left . I hope you both are having a lovely time over there and plenty of sunshine thanks for sharing your trip ☕🍺🤗

    Voulez vous The Lodge Guys? Their French is flawless. 😂 It's so much fun watching your adventures! 43:52 I love the burger time plate at the French café. 😊
    It gives me chills thinking about all the evil things the nazis did. 😢 I wonder if there was a special commemoration at that village for the 80th anniversary of that tragedy.
