About this activity
After meeting your driver/guide at the doorstep of your hotel, you will depart Paris in the early morning in your private air-conditioned vehicle, to travel to the French Region of Normandy for your D-Day landing beaches Day-Trip.
Stop at Pointe du Hoc, 90-foot (27-meter) cliffs where 225 rangers landed on the morning of June 6, 1944, and then continue to Colleville-sur-Mer to visit the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, which overlooks Omaha Beach and is home to more than 9,000 white crosses perfectly aligned on 170 acres. A chapel and memorial add the finishing touches to this moving site that allows visitors to reflect on the price of war.
After a stop for Lunch (not included), you will have the opportunity to visit the Overlord Museum, a fabulous place with some wonderful dioramas giving a great insight into the events of D-Day and the whole Overlord operation.
Then visit other WWII locations such as Arromanches and the vestiges of the artificial Mulberry harbor, Longues-sur-Mer, and the German artillery battery, which gave the Allied troops a lot of pushback on the morning of June 6th. This is the only coastal battery to have kept its guns, giving a picture of what an Atlantic wall gun emplacement was like.
Your day trip will end with return to Paris, filled of Memories you'll never forget.
