Description

Departure from CAEN CARPIQUET towards FALAISE, then towards TRUN and CHAMBOIS. It was between these two towns that the Polish Allied troops to the north and the American troops to the south trapped the German troops in what became known as the "FALAISE pocket". This is also an opportunity to fly over the castle of CHAMBOIS, the Normandy countryside and, on the way back, William the Conqueror's castle at FALAISE.
