Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
The day begins with a comfortable minivan transfer from Paris. We will pick you up at your selected location, and you’ll travel towards Normandy, with the drive taking approximately 4-4.5 hours. Enjoy the scenic views of the French countryside.
2
Stop 2
Next, we visit Omaha Beach, the site of one of the most intense battles on D-Day. Walk on the same sands where thousands of soldiers landed.
3
Stop 3
Reflect at the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, where more than 9,000 soldiers are laid to rest.
4
Visit the Overlord Museum for an in-depth look at the vehicles, artifacts, and personal stories of D-Day
5
Stop 5
Proceed to Pointe du Hoc, a cliff that was captured by American Rangers on D-Day. This high ground was critical for the success of the landings. See the bomb craters and German bunkers that still remain as a testament to the fierce fighting that took place here.
6
Utah Beach is one of the five Allied landing beaches from D-Day, June 6, 1944, where American forces came ashore. Compared to neighboring Omaha Beach, the landings at Utah were remarkably successful, with fewer casualties and swift progress inland. Today, the site features a memorial and a museum dedicated to the events of the landings, while the beach itself still holds remnants of bunkers, monuments, and tanks — standing as powerful reminders of the courage and determination of the liberating forces
