Embark on a private excursion in small groups (maximum 7 participants) from Paris to the emblematic sites of the Normandy landings, accompanied by a driver-guide interpreter.
The D-Day Landings on 6 June 1944 were nothing less than the largest and most complex combined airborne and amphibious military operation of all time. Today this epic history attracts millions of visitors to reflect on what was achieved – and why.
Departure at 7:00 am from your hotel in Paris for a 3h45 minibus ride to the landing beaches .
First stop at Utah beach where you can visit the D-Day museum. This museum will remind you of the events of D-Day by explaining the key stages of the landing, from its preparation to its conclusion.
Then head for the village of Sainte Mère Eglise, where you will discover the Airborne Museum. Live a total immersion thanks to the interactive tablet given to enrich your visit. You will be able to live and understand the different events that made this region a part of history. You will have free time for lunch after the visit.
Then discover Omaha Beach (also known as “The Beach of Blood”), the landing beach where the Allies lost the most troops. It is located below the 70-hectare Colleville Cemetery, which you will visit next. The famous St. Laurent American Military Cemetery includes 9387 white marble headstones, the memorial, a chapel and the Garden of the Missing.
