This small-group tour from Paris will take you north to Normandy to visit some of the most important locations of D-Day.
Join a guide and retrace the steps of the brave men who stormed Normandy's beaches in June of 1944 with a visit to the Pointe du Hoc, and its 90-feet high cliffs between Omaha and Utah beaches, where 225 Rangers landed. It was one of the strong points of the German fortifications, and your guide will give you some time to soak in the atmosphere of this iconic location.
From here, you'll journey toward the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer which overlooks Omaha Beach. You'll be moved by the sight of 9,000 perfectly aligned white crosses. It's a sobering reminder of the lives given to protect freedom. It's also an opportunity to go in search of your own history should you have family who fell in the conflict.
Other World War Two locations that you will see are Arromanches, with its vestiges of the artificial harbour (Mulberry Bridge), and Longues-sur-Mer and the German artillery battery that assaulted allied forces on the morning of June 6. It is actually the only coastal battery to have kept its guns, giving an impressive picture of what an atlantic wall gun emplacement was really like.
You'll also visit the Overlord Museum and at the end of your day you will be given free time to explore the Caen Peace Memorial – a place for contemplating war in general, and a reminder to never forget the legacy of the Second World War.
