France, England

What would have happened to Paris and London—and the world—without the D-Day heroes of Normandy? Liberated from Nazi occupation, Paris regained its footing as a capital of artistic expression and enlightenment. You'll experience this spirit at the Louvre and Place de la Concorde. Freed from merciless bombings, London reemerged as an international center of ideas and culture. You'll feel the unwavering vitality at Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus.
