The 80th anniversary of D-Day and a visit to Versailles while sailing the Seine River

from Eye on Travel with Peter Greenberg · host CBS News

This week's Eye on Travel Podcast with Peter Greenberg - from onboard the Viking Radgrid on the Seine River. Peter touches base with Alexander Lobrano - American Expat and Author of My Place at the Table - for the latest on the food scene in a country that continues to outdo itself. Then, Peter visits The Palace of Versailles to chat with curator Bertrand Rondot about the history of royalty and design that still defines the Palace today. Then, it is back on the River to Rouen, the home to many impressionists, for a conversation with Michael Dodds as he traces Normandy’s history back to the vikings. Finally, as the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landing approaches, Peter stops at the American Cemetery in Normandy and sits down with longtime Superintendent Scott Desjardins to try to put the stories of all the 9,387 buried there into proper historical and emotional perspective.
