Three weeks before I left Elvira and I went to the battery in Merville (which is the other side of Franceville) because they were giving tours. They have done a wonderful job with making it a museum-y place. There were many relics from the battles that took place here and lots of old documentaries.
The most exciting and touching part is a sound and light show that has you listen to a recording of a battle while in one of the bunkers with lights. It's loud and frightening and gives you a taste of what soldiers go through. I think it's something I will always remember.
I think this night will always be one of my favorite memories of my whole time in France.
