British soldiers hitch a lift across Caen Canal Bridge on a Bren carrier - Caen, France, June 1944. It was renamed Pegasus Bridge on the 26th June 1944 after the winged horse emblem on the uniforms of the British airborne division that captured it. The events were later made into a film in 1961 called The Longest Day #ww2 #worldwar2 #caen #france #pegasusbridge #pegasus #bridge #airborne #thelongestday #dday

2/3 On a proposé à la Ville d' #HérouvilleSaintClair de poser une halte pour personnes circulant à vélo le long de la voie verte, avec :
- borne avec pompe et outils essentiels
- toilettes
- infos indiquant les #commerces, médecins etc hérouvillais tout proches
- quelques tables et bancs de bois
en profitant du cadre et de l'espace, bien chouettes le long du canal à HSC
