Have a great trip, hope it's not too depressing and saddening for you. If you can make it to the meet that would be good.

Here's a selection of pic of my trip to France and to Oradour Sur Glane

Once we arrived in the 28c heat it was that time to set up.. I was well  :censored: once done.

On Tuesday 10th we went down to Oradour Sur Glane for the 70th anniversary of the massacre.

Old cars just rusting away in their "what was" garages.

The old street car station.

The Prime Minister of France Manuel Valls attended.. Security was high with many Gendarmerie and Secret Service guys around.

The kiddies of the New village came out to line the walk way for when the Prime Minister arrived. It was quite emotional as nearly 200 children were killed in the massacre.

I was glad I went, but would like to go back again when it's not quite so busy.

All packed up ready to head home..

There would have been a lot more pics, but I forgot to take my camera with me and the battery on my phone ran out before the Prime Minister arrived...  :censored: :censored:  :mfr_lol:
