Years ago, I did a historical war tour through Normandy, rest of France, Belgium and into Berlin - following the Allied attack path. The tour visited some of the sites of the Band of Brothers series including "first battle" at Brecourt Manor.

Was really sobering and neat to see all those sites and cemeteries in person. Spent a lot of time just standing on Juno and Omaha beach.

People and buildings still fly the Canadian flag in Normandy. People were super friendly and even more so when they found out you were Canadian.

EDIT: Huh, the original historical war tour company that I went with a decade ago has apparently merged with "Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours". Looks like they do a Band of Brothers Tour now as well:
