D-Day: Why American GIs carried a copy of the Michelin Guide

A roadmap to victory! On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we dive into how the Michelin Guide helped American soldiers navigate Normandy. We also find out why, and how, the touring book came to be a part of GIs' kits and how Michelin helped, but also hurt, the war effort.

This Entre Nous aired on Paris Direct, June 6, 2024. A programme produced by Amanda Alexander, Marina Pajovic and Georgina Robertson.
