Dear Matt, greetings from Paris !
A great day with a very heartbreaking ceremony under an awful rainy weather ! I wanted to see it because their will be only one centenary, and we must take great care not to forget the apocalyptic WWI. Nice pics and it was also impressive in France at the time.
Always nice to hear from you, Franck! I have a day or two off work coming up, due to bad weather, and I look forward to looking at the sites/links you mentioned then.
