It is a great shame that you can not visit the various sites in france, do you ever manage to attend the more local ceremonies etc? I remember when my grandfather got nearer to the end of his life he attended the service and ceremony in his village for the first time. It seemed as though he began to remember things far more clearly in those last few weeks, maybe he just became far more susceptable to the memories, reacted to them more if that makes sense?
