I had to do quite a bit of research for this. It's set on the second morning after the Germans retreated from the Falaise pocket. I don't think the distance from Paris is particularly accurate, but it's the closest guess I could manage at the time (Caen's about 126 miles, Falaise is 18 from Caen, the road taken by the Germans was a little to the east of Falaise) so if anyone wants to set the record straight, I'd appreciate it.
