About this experience

Travel from Paris to Normandy to explore key World War II sites such as Omaha Beach, Pont du Hoc, the American Cemetery, and Arromanches, with the option to visit Utah Beach. This full-day private tour accommodates your group's interests, offering flexibility in how long you spend at each location. A professional, multilingual guide will lead the tour, and transportation will be provided in a luxury Mercedes-Benz minivan for a comfortable roundtrip experience. The trip is suitable for those interested in American military history, but may not be ideal for large groups due to its private nature.

Itinerary

1

Le Debarquement et la Bataille de Normandie

Your private tour guide will take your private group up for a full day of World War II history, with an emphasis on the American soldiers who fought to protect the Allies and their people. You will visit important sites such as the ones that follow.

2

Pointe du Hoc

Your day continues with a visit to Pointe du Hoc, one of the most dramatic sites of the Normandy landings. Perched on a 100-foot cliff overlooking the English Channel, this position was heroically scaled by U.S. Army Rangers under heavy enemy fire. As you walk among the bomb craters and remnants of German bunkers, your guide will bring to life the extraordinary courage and determination that defined this mission.

3

Omaha Beach

Leaving Pointe du Hoc, you'll continue your drive to Omaha Beach, the site of one of the most pivotal events of World War II. Here, you will stand on the sands where 2,400 American soldiers lost their lives on D-Day in the fight to secure a beachhead stretching nearly 5 miles, from Port-en-Bessin to the Vire River, ultimately linking up with the British landings at Gold Beach and the American forces at Utah Beach. Your guide will share the powerful history of Omaha Beach before leaving you free time to reflect and pay tribute to those who fought against the German 352nd Infantry Division.

4

Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

Your journey then takes you to the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, the resting place of nearly 9,400 U.S. soldiers. Stroll among the perfectly aligned white crosses, visit the Memorial, the Wall of the Missing, and the chapel. This solemn and peaceful site is an enduring reminder of the cost of freedom.

5

Arromanches-les-Bains

Leaving the American Cemetery, you'll sit back and relax as you drive to Arromanches, where you will see the remains of the artificial harbor (Mulberry Bridge), a key engineering achievement that played a decisive role in the success of the D-Day landings.
