About this experience
Step aboard a Range Rover Classic and set off for a private full day tour to discover Normandy history and terroir.
Throughout the day, you'll be guided by local Insider who knows the land, the stories, and the people behind them.
You'll discover the most emblematic D-Day sites as well as lesser-known places and favourite local spots — the kind you won’t find in guidebooks. Because Normandy is also a lot about food and terroir, expect several food tasting stops at intimate local producers along the way.
For lunch, you choose the vibe: a bistronomic meal, a chic picnic with a view, or a charming local restaurant .
As this experience is just for you and your crew, the time is taken to understand your interests and expectations which shapes the day around what matters most to you.

Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
You will be taken to discover Omaha Beach — the most symbolic shore of June 6, 1944.
A place where history meets the wind, and silence says more than words.
As this is a private tour, the itinerary can be adjusted to include Canadian or other Allied landing sites instead if you prefer.
2
Take time to discover American Cemetery. Endless rows of white crosses overlooking the sea. A moving tribute to those who never came home.
3
Take time to have lunch and enjoy 2 to 3 local tasting stops during this full day tour. Depending on the season and your tastes: fresh oysters, farmhouse cheeses, craft cider...
4
A quiet seaside village with a powerful legacy — the remains of the Mulberry artificial harbor still visible today. Smart tactics, visible history.
