Lagers from the 1970s and 1980s meet at La Plage d'Or

At the end of May, 65 former summer visitors and Vierville residents met at the La Plage d'Or restaurant in Omaha Beach. They had shared their holidays in the 1970s and 1980s, at a time when families stayed three weeks or a month in the same place and returned every summer.

This renewed reunion had given rise to friendships and love stories between local children and vacationers. At the beginning of January, three members of the group had undertaken five months of research to reunite their former companions: phone calls, letters, social networks and the creation of a blog.

The Golden Beach, the place of their first evenings without parents, had imposed itself for this day. On a sunny Sunday, the participants arrived in small groups, a picnic basket under their arm, to reconnect and evoke their memories.
