Bonjour tout le monde!
Have you heard about Josephine Baker? The woman who moved from the US to France and became an icon in French night club lore, mostly due to her interpretation of the "Banana Dance". She also was a staunch supporter of Civil Rights and even campaigned for it in the States.
She was also a war hero. Due to her popularity, Josephine Baker would cross all over Europe doing shows and carrying secret messages for the Allied Forces. Because of that, her remains will be taken from Monaco - where she was buried in her uniform along with her medals - and buried in the Pantheon, France's greatest honor. She will lie in the same place as Marie Curie, Victor Hugo, and Simone Veil.

Bonjour tout le monde!
In February, I was talking about going to France in 2022. Things were still a bit iffy, and folks were hesitant to think about traveling, even if they were getting vaccinated. Now that things are opening up in France, it is time to think about coming with me to France in September 2022.
I have chosen to go with Go Ahead because it is a great company. The itinerary is great; we spend time in the south of France, then take the TGV (very fast train) from Avignon to Paris, where we spend a few days. If you have more time, sign up for the extension to Normandy, where you get great food and also visit the D-Day beaches that you learned about in school.
Here is the information plus the link to my personal page that gives you information about the trip PLUS it is also where you can enroll too!
Want more information? Come to my Zoom party this Sunday, June 27, at 3:00 pm. Contact me for the Zoom log in information: jacki.williamsjones@gmail.com or just to ask more questions.
