Overview of your Cannes tour:

A pilgrimage on the sites of the operation Dragoon (or Anvil). On the 15th of August 1944: 850 warships obscured the horizon of the Mediterranean and fifty thousand men landed on the beaches of Provence, preceded by parachutes and heroic landings of gliders. The operation has been a massive success due to the sacrifice of thousands of men, especially on the Dramont beach where 20000 men of the 36th infantry division of Texas landed within 10 hours. From the American Rhone cemetery to the Esterel, we will discover a region known for its stunning beauty, which has been the grave of many brave. If you're looking for a specific name in the cemetry, or if you wish to put flowers on a grave or a site, I can arrange it for you on demand. We won't forget that this very place was also famous before the war, when F Scott Fitzgerald and Ernst Hemingway were staying in the South of France. If you wish we can enjoy a lunch by the sea while we follow the Gold corniche, one of the most famous scenic road in Europe.
