Well we arrived In Frankfurt, Germany, met our ACIS bus driver Marcel, and Tour Guide Daniel. We then drove the ACIS bus to Caen, France. Nice, large bus... lots of room for us to spread out with the 27 of us.

Caen, France:
We made it to Caen, France and checked into our hotel. One thing I noticed in France is that there are A LOT of smokers... mostly the women. I can't seem to escape the smoke. Also, their bathtubs are narrow... and their bathrooms are about the size of a bedroom closet. The toilet was literally right next to the wall, no room for your shoulders when you sit on it. Much different than what we are used to in the states. The hotel itself was very nice and so were the staff.

Caen Peach Museum:
For our first day, we visited the Caen Peace Museum. The museum depicts the impact of the First World War but primarily focuses on WWII, Hitlers rise in power, how society's daily lives were effected by the war, Jewish genocide, propaganda, the "D" Day Landings and the Battle of Normandy just to hi-light a few key areas.
William the Conquerors Castle "Château de Caen":
There are remains of William the Conqueror's castle in the heart of the city. We were able to climb it and see the fantastic view of Caen. The castle was built in 1060 by William who conquered England in 1066.
