Descrição
Discover the history of D-Day on a private day trip from Paris. Visit Omaha and Utah Beaches, the Normandy American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, and the Airborne Museum.
Start your day with convenient door-to-door pickup from your hotel in Paris. Relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan or Mercedes E-Class sedan as you head to Normandy. The journey to the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer takes approximately 3.5 hours and covers around 280 km (175 miles). Along the way, make one stop at a highway rest area where you can enjoy a coffee, grab a snack, or use the restroom before continuing your journey.
Visit the Normandy American Cemetery, a moving memorial overlooking Omaha Beach. This sacred site is the final resting place of 9,387 American military personnel who died during the Allied campaign in Europe, most of them during the Battle of Normandy. The Wall of the Missing commemorates another 1,557 American service members whose remains were never recovered.
Next, visit Omaha Beach, one of the most significant D-Day landing sites of June 6, 1944. Learn about the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of the American troops who came ashore here under intense German fire.
Continue to Pointe du Hoc, a prominent cliff between Utah and Omaha Beach. This point was important because it was the highest land between Omaha and Utah beaches and could thus fire upon both of them.
Arrive at Utah Beach and enjoy free time to explore. Utah Beach is the westernmost of the five Normandy D-Day Beaches. Then, visit the Utah Beach Landing Museum, created atop a former German bunker.
Make a short stop in Sainte-Mère-Église in front of the Airborne Museum. The Airborne Museum is dedicated to the U.S. paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions. The Airborne Museum comprises five separate buildings, two of which resemble open parachutes. Inside, find an incredible collection of World War II aircraft and, thanks to the touch pad, experience the highlights of the Normandy landings.
Arrive back in Paris and enjoy convenient door-to-door drop-off at your hotel.
