About this experience
Settle into your private minibus and enjoy a scenic 1.5-hour drive through the Normandy countryside.
Your first stop is Pointe du Hoc, where bomb craters and bunkers remain untouched since WWII. Walk the cliffside battlefield, explore the German fortifications, and reflect on the heroic efforts of the American Rangers who scaled the cliffs under fire to seize the site.
Continue to Omaha Beach, driving along 8 kilometers of historic coastline facing the English Channel—one of the most intense D-Day area.
Then visit the Normandy American Cemetery, where nearly 10,000 American soldiers are laid to rest. The peaceful grounds and visitor center offer a moving tribute to the lives lost during the liberation of Europe.
