Visite de l'église basilique Notre-Dame de Douvres-la-Délivrande
La basilique Notre-Dame de la Délivrande est située à Douvres-la-Délivrande (Calvados) sur le lieu d'un pèlerinage dédié à la Vierge.
La basilique succède à deux édifices antérieurs. Une première chapelle fut détruite par les Vikings en 830. Une seconde chapelle fut édifiée vers 1150 sur le lieu de la découverte de la statue de la Vierge noire. La découverte de cette statue aurait été facilitée par un mouton. La statue originale fut détruite pendant les guerres de religion et remplacée par l'actuelle statue en 1580.
L'édifice fut construit entre 1854 et 1878 dans le style néo-gothique normand, au centre de la cité. En 1872, le pape Pie IX accorda à la Vierge Noire le privilège du couronnement puis Léon XIII l'érigea en basilique mineure en 1895. Elle fut consacrée le 22 août 1895. Les combats de la bataille de Normandie en 1944 ont peu affecté la basilique, seuls les vitraux ont dû être progressivement reconstitués. Orgue de chœur Roethinger de 5 jeux sur un clavier, le grand orgue Debierre construit en 1886 est invisible, caché derrière les arcades au-dessus de la statue de la Vierge , il comprend 16 jeux sur 2 claviers-pédalier.
Gustave Flaubert fait venir les héros de son roman Bouvard et Pécuchet en pèlerinage, et donne une description intéressante du site à l'époque où les pèlerinages étaient importants.

EXPLORING CAEN, NORMANDY || IS IT WORTH VISITING ? || PART 2
Caen is a port city and capital of Calvados department in northern France's Normandy region. Its center features the Château de Caen, a circa-1060 castle built by William the Conqueror. It stands on a hill flanked by the Romanesque abbeys of Saint-Étienne and Sainte-Trinité, which both date from the same period. The multimedia Mémorial museum is devoted to World War II, the 1944 Battle of Normandy and the Cold War.
L' Abbaye - aux-Hommes -- The Abbey of Saint-Étienne, also known as Abbaye aux Hommes by contrast with the Abbaye aux Dames, is a former Benedictine monastery in the French city of Caen, Normandy, dedicated to Saint Stephen. It was founded in 1063 by William the Conqueror and is one of the most important Romanesque buildings in Normandy.
OLD ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCH --The Church of Saint-Étienne-le-Vieux is a former Roman Catholic church, today partly ruined, located in the old city of Caen, Calvados, France. It is not to be confused with the nearby Church of Saint-Étienne, the former church of the Abbaye aux Hommes.
MAISON DES QUATRANS --The Quatrans house is a half-timbered house built in the 1460s in the old city center of Caen . The entire old Quatrans hotel has been classified as historical monuments since the July 24 , 1953 . The house takes its name from a confusion with another hotel, known as the Four Quatrans manor, which belonged to the Quatrans family,the king's tabellions in Caen, and which were located slightly further north
CAEN CASTLE --The Château de Caen is a castle in the Norman city of Caen in the Calvados département. It has been officially classed as a Monument historique since 1997.The castle was built c. 1060 by William the Conqueror (William of Normandy), who successfully conquered England in 1066.
The castle saw several engagements during the Hundred Years' War (1346, 1417, 1450). The keep was pulled down in 1793 during the French Revolution, by order of the National Convention.
The castle, which was used as a barracks during World War II, was bombed in 1944 and seriously damaged.
In 1946, Michel de Boüard, an archeologist from Caen, decided to start excavations in the area of the castle to bring to the light medieval traces. The Musée des Beaux-Arts, which was installed in 1967, opened in 1971.
QUARTIER HISTORIQUE DU VAUGUEUX --is a small old quarter located in Caen .Le Vaugueux is a dry valley framed to the west by the rocky escarpment on which William the Conqueror established the castle of Caen and to the east by the plateau on which the church of Saint-Gilles was founded and later the ' Abbaye aux Dames . A path, the current rue du Vaugueux, led to Douvres-la-Délivrande through the hamlet of Couvrechef In the 1070s , William the Conquerorcloses the borough directly dependent on its jurisdiction (Bourg-le-Roi); it does not seem that these .works, probably a levee preceded by a ditch, originally had a defensive value, but rather that they were intended to delimit Bourg-le-Roi from the towns under the jurisdiction abbeys . Be that as it may, the Vaugueux is therefore placed in the position of a suburb .

Atlantic wall near Ostend part seven of eight
SEE MY HISTORY SITE ON FACEBOOK :
On 23 March 1942 Führer Directive Number 40 called for the official creation of the Atlantic Wall. Fortifications remained concentrated around ports and other strategic objectives until late in 1943 when defences were increased in other areas as the risk of invasion increased.
Organisation Todt, which had designed the Siegfried Line (Westwall) along the Franco-German border, was the chief engineering group responsible for the design and construction of the wall's major fortifications. In late 1943, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was assigned taken out of the Italy and given the job of improving defences. Starting off in Denmark and working his way down the coast, Rommel believed the existing coastal fortifications were entirely inadequate and he immediately began strengthening them. Under his direction, a string of reinforced concrete pillboxes was built along the beaches, or sometimes slightly inland, to house machine guns, antitank guns and light artillery. Mines and antitank obstacles were planted on the beaches themselves and underwater obstacles and mines were placed in waters just off shore. Rommel believed that he needed to destroy the Allied invasion before it could unload, as once it was ashore he knew from experience in north Africa that there would be no way of stopping it.
Until 6 June 1944, the Germans had laid almost six million mines in northern France alone. Aware of the danger of paratroop landings behind the sea front defences, Rommel ordered gun emplacements and minefields extended inland, along roads leading away from the beaches. In likely landing spots for gliders and parachutists, the Germans emplaced slanted poles with sharpened tops, which the troops called Rommelspargel (Rommel's asparagus). Where possible, many areas were permanently flooded through the destruction of weirs and sometimes sea defences, causing damage to fields which lasted for many years after the war.
The Atlantic Wall consisted of batteries, bunkers, minefields and all sorts of other defences which can be seen in the below series of films. Many bunkers still exist, for example near Scheveningen, Den Haag, Katwijk and in Normandy. In Oostende, Belgium, shown here, the public may visit a well-preserved part of the defences. That section consists of emplacements of the Saltzwedel neu battery and the Stützpunkt Bensberg, consisting of accommodation, defences and other military emplacements made by German military engineers (Pionierstab) who were in charge of bunker construction.

Messages for Fouquières war dead
Fouquières-lès-Béthune is a small village in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais a few miles south west of Béthune and 30 miles southwest of Lille. The village cemetery also contains a plot for the Commonwealth War Graves commission for mainly those who died in the first world war, there is also a handful of graves from the second world war. The soldiers here are those who died of their wounds and came from field ambulances stationed in the village. Some of the graves also contain a quote or personal messages from the family on the lower part of the grave stone. This video shows a few examples of those inscriptions. I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (
