Caen Cathedral [View all]

One of my wife's childhood friends and her family have moved to France. They are waiting for German citizenship. We went to visit and see the area in the Normandy region. On the way back home we stopped to hear an organ concert in the refurbished Notre Dame.
Here are a few from the Caen cathedral. Plus a picture of what it looked like after D Day.
