I suggest taking some pics of the Abbeye d'Ardenne taken during the war, and then compare the very quiet beautiful place it is today. Quite a contrast.
We did two days with Battlebus Tours on their Canadian Battlefields and Juno beach tours. They really know their stuff and have lots of info and pics of the places they show you. Check out
Battlebus - Tours of the D-Day beaches and battlefields of Normandy . They seem to be really busy though!
