WWI Study Abroad
We began a WWI remembrance tour near the point of the German invasion in Ypres, Belgium. Travelling southwest into France we visited pivotal battle sites surrounding Amiens, Perronne, Soisson, Reims, and Verdun. We also had the chance to visit Paris, where we toured Versailles. We ended the trip with a visit to the American Cemetery and memorial at Omaha beach in Normandy. The destruction and devastation of that war is a stark contrast to the beauty of the country and the amazing Gothic architecture that has survived over these many years.
