The largest military operation in history, D-Day marked the start of the Battle of Normandy and would eventually lead to the end of the Second World War. Your guide will take you to the most important sites of the D-Day Landings along the Normandy coastline.

The first stop on the tour is Pointe du Hoc, located between Omaha and Utah beaches overlooking the hundred-foot-high cliffs. A 45-minute guided tour will show you one of the most important German fortified sites along the Normandy coast. Next the tour heads to Omaha Beach (referred to as “The Beach of Blood”), which saw the greatest number of casualties. It is located beneath the 170-acre Colleville Cemetery and Memorial, the next destination on the tour.

Stop for lunch in a picturesque manor house before continuing on to Arromanches, a historic town known for its artificial port which was built as part of the Normandy Landings. See the floating reinforced concrete “Phoenix” constructions in the water before travelling on past Gold Beach on to our final stop at Juno Beach and its cemetary. The tour then returns to Paris for the early evening.
