My wife and I were on California’s Catalina Island in late spring of this year, checking out a place I used to be able to see from my dormitory window during my college days but had never been to. We’d had a delightful time checking out the sleepy waterfront town of Avalon on foot and in an electric golf cart (visitors aren’t allowed to bring cars over on the ferry, and even locals have limits on automobile usage).

Not only is Normandy the site of the landing beaches on D-Day, it is a region of welcoming people, delicious cuisine and…
