June 6th marked the 70th anniversary of D-Day, the day on which Allied forces invaded northern France via beach landings in Normandy. In commemoration of this day I joined a new Context Tour, Lights Out, Paris Under the Occupation, accompanied by my Italian and a few friends. Following are several of the relevant spots, including bullet holes I had never noticed, along our 3 hour walk, led by a well-schooled historian. These images and the stories behind them will stay with me forever.
To learn more about Paris history, art, food… join a Context tour. You might even find me there.

We love the photos, Kasia! Thanks for having joined us on the tour!
I loved the tour and learned so much, thank you!
We’re very glad that you enjoyed the walk and these strong memories stayed with you. Paris has many faces as well as hidden facets, all of which are worth exploring.
