With pomp and music, France pins Legion of Honour on U.S. D-Day vets
French officers pinned the Legion of Honour on the chests of 99 former American soldiers Saturday, thanking them at a pomp-filled military ceremony for helping to free Europe from Nazism 60 years ago.
Children and grandchildren watched proudly, many shooting pictures and videos.
Most of the recipients landed on Normandy’s beaches on D-Day – others were pilots who backed the invasion with bombs, medics who treated the wounded, troops who landed elsewhere in France after the initial attack.
The government says it wanted to honour the 99 as representatives of all the Americans who helped liberate France from German occupation.
Britanny lodging
I am planning my vacation (2 partents + 2 children) to France this summer and having a very hard time in a hotel booking. I want to stay in Morbihan (close to Carnac) or Loire Atlantique (close to La Baule), in other words close to the beach but not in too crowded of place.
I appreciate any suggestion. Can I simply drive there (we are renting a car from Paris) without reservations?
Thanks.

Renault aims to compete with Smart and Mini with new Twingo
Renault will remake its Twingo model to capture the cult appeal of the Smart and Mini brands.
Automotive News Europe said the next Twingo also will not use the B platform for small cars that Renault shares with its Japanese alliance partner Nissan, as has been widely assumed.
It will be built on the current Clio platform to save money, supplier sources said.
Renault wants to develop the Twingo into a car that matches the cool image of Mercedes car group’s Smart brand and BMW’s Mini.
“It will be a chic city car,” said Francois Hinfray, Renault’s sales and marketing chief. “It will have to be much more versatile than the Smart, and be fit for out-of-town driving, as is the case now,” added Renault spokeswoman Marie de Saint-Cheron.
