It struck me that I can now compare and contrast Paris vs “Paris”
The REAL thing:
Then the Vegas version:
I think I prefer the real thing :) Vive La France!

Operation Jubilee ended with drastic results: the allies counted 1,380 dead (913 Canadians), 1,600 wounded and over 2,000 taken prisoner. The air battle was just as devastating. The Royal Air Force lost 107 aircraft; more than any other one day battle that Britain was involved in. In contrast, the Germans only lost about forty aircraft. In the area of Dieppe, among the civilians, the count was 48 dead and 100 wounded. The Germans had 345 dead or missing and 268 wounded. Thus, in less than ten hours’ battle, almost 1,800 people lost their lives, which shows clearly the murderous intensity of the Battle of Dieppe. |
Here are a few photos of Dieppe as it stands today with many Canadian memorials and its imposing cliffs.
