Beschrijving
Pay your respects on a guided tour from Paris to the D-Day landing beaches in Normandy. Visit Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, the American Cemetery, and enjoy a Norman lunch with local cider included.
Begin your tour at Place du Général Kœnig in Paris, where you’ll meet your guide and hop aboard a private bus bound for Normandy. Along the way, your guide shares stories of Operation Overlord as you roll through farmland toward the coast.
At Utah Beach, step into a real German bunker that’s now a world-class museum. This is where American boots first hit French sand on June 6, 1944. Inside, find one of only six B-26 bombers left in existence and hear stories of the soldiers who changed history.
Next, sit down to a meal of seasonal ingredients at a local restaurant perched above the harbor. Fresh bread, regional cheeses, and local cider fuel you up for the afternoon ahead.
Climb to the top of the 100-foot cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, where you’ll spot bomb craters and concrete bunkers still scarred by battle. Allied Rangers scaled these rock faces under enemy fire to knock out German guns. Standing here, wind in your face, the bravery becomes real.
Below the bluff lies Omaha Beach, where waves now lap quietly at the sand that saw the fiercest fighting of D-Day. Above, white crosses stretch across a manicured lawn. Walk among the graves, read names, and look out over the beach where these soldiers gave everything.
