Our itinerary was packed with stunning sights and exciting destinations. We knew the days would be filled with activities, so it was essential to balance sightseeing with rest. We appreciated the flexibility of the Sunday schedule, which allowed travelers to relax and plan their own activities.
Seeing the iconic landmarks of Paris was unforgettable, but performing at the historic La Madeleine was a truly unique experience.
In an article by Reach Charita with the CantonRep.com. Heather Cooper the Director of Music & Organist was quoted, “We have members who made the trip who had relatives, uncles, grandparents who were there on D-Day,” Cooper said. “For all of us, whether you had a personal connection or whether it was just that historical component, being there, looking at Omaha Beach, looking at the cliffs that were scaled. It just made everything real in a way that history books don’t quite convey. It was a deeply impactful experience for all of us.”
It was a moment she’ll never forget.
