描述
Embark on an unforgettable and immersive Normandy D-Day tour, which combines insightful local guide commentary with authentic D-Day audio recordings, delivering a unique and emotional experience.
Let the journey begin…
Embark on a scenic 2.5-hour journey to the stunning Normandy coast. Relax in our comfortable minivan and enjoy breathtaking views along the way.
In Arromanches, step into history and uncover the incredible story of the Mulberry Harbor, one of the most remarkable engineering feats of World War II. This temporary harbor played a crucial role in the success of the Allied forces during the D-Day landings.
Next, step onto the sands of Omaha Beach and feel the weight of history beneath your feet. This hauntingly beautiful stretch of coastline was the site of one of the most pivotal moments of World War II, where over 34,000 American soldiers landed on D-Day.
Then, visit the Overlord Museum, located just steps from Omaha Beach. Immerse yourself in a deeply moving journey through the Battle of Normandy. The museum brings history to life with an extraordinary collection of artifacts, including Sherman tanks, German anti-aircraft guns, and personal belongings of the soldiers who fought here.
Time for a lunch break! Savor the flavors of Normandy at a charming local restaurant in the port of Grandcamp-Maisy. Enjoy regional specialties as you soak in the coastal atmosphere.
After lunch, discover Pointe du Hoc, a powerful symbol of bravery and sacrifice. This heavily fortified German stronghold, perched high above the coastline, was a critical strategic point during the invasion. Imagine the audacity of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, led by Lieutenant Colonel James Rudder, as they scaled 100-foot cliffs under relentless enemy fire.
Next, visit the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, perched on a cliff overlooking Omaha Beach in Colleville-sur-Mer. This immaculately maintained sanctuary honors 9,389 American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Battle of Normandy. Stroll among the endless rows of white crosses and Stars of David, each a poignant reminder of courage and loss.
