If this was in the USA we would have bulldozed the whole works

This photo essay of Normandy and surrounds right after the invasion in 1944 and the same site today says a lot about the French and their dedication to preservation rather than tear down and build over.

I guess I come down on the side of restoration and renovation rather than raze and rebuild.

They did a great job. I wish we could learn to keep some of the charm we have.
