As you walk through the cemetery in Normandy, France, you are instantly overtaken by the immensity of the deaths that occurred during the battles at the beaches of Normandy. Unlike later wars, where combat fatalities were airlifted back to the United States for burial in family or national military cemeteries, the Allied dead of the Normandy invasion were buried close to where they fell.
American forces suffered over 4,000 casualties on Omaha Beach, the bloodiest of five landing sites on the Normandy coast on June 6th, 1944. Join us on this walk through the cemetery.

Hi! We are An and Jeff Scott, two happily retired septuagenarians from the USA, who had a dream. That dream was to retire in France. So, we sold most of our “stuff”, packed and shipped the rest, and with our bossy little Yorkie, Bella, said “goodbye” to the USA. We moved from the sunny coast of southwest Florida to the sunny coast of the south of France, to enjoy our “golden years” and embrace the “joie de vivre” available to us, here in beautiful Nice, France.
Moving from the USA to a foreign country was no small “project”. Through our videos, we’ve been taking you through the Long Stay Visa process, the packing, the purging, the moving, searching for an apartment, creating a great Dossier, learning the way things are done administratively in France, and sharing the steps, talking about what we’ve learned and the ups and the downs.
And now, we continue to share our life, our new life, here in Nice, getting settled, adjusting to the “French” way of doing things, dealing with the French “red tape” and all the while, making every wonderful day in Nice, the best day ever…

Thank you for this beautiful video. Very moving. I’ll be watching again with Bryan tonight when he gets home from work. On one of our first dates Bryan spoke of his wish to visit Normandy someday..
Thanks for sharing such a moving video of Normandy.
Omaha, c'est toujours émouvant
A Beautiful tribute to our service men & women 💕…..Thank you
Another super video! Merci mille fois!!
Very interesting video An and Jeff. One day, I'll go !
Almost 5 years ago now, my husband took me to Normandy on my very first trip to Europe. I am very grateful that he did that. We signed up for a tour and spent the whole day there. Our tour guide Francis grew up in Normandy and just had so much part of history he shared with us. Like you said, it’s different being there. At 5pm, they play Taps as they lower the flags. My husband and I teared up 😢. We appreciate so much of what we have today. Thanks again for sharing.
