Overview of your Bayeux tour:

This tour will include, Omaha Beach, probably the best known historical event of WW2 in Europe, an enormous task but overcome by the Rangers 'Lead the way', the 29th inf Div and the Big Red One 1st Inf division, Utah Beach where Theo Roosevelt 'Began His War', The 90' cliffs at La Pointe du Hoc Scaled by James Rudder and the 2nd Rangers. The American Cemetery at Colleville sits peacefully and poignantly above Omaha Beach, a stark reminder of the huge sacrifice made by so many brave young men for the freedom that we still enjoy today. Sainte-Mère-Église, the vital town on the Caen Cherbourg road, captured by Matthew Ridgeway and the 82nd airborne made famous by John Steele, caught by his parachute chords on the church steeple. The Fière bridge one of the bloodiest battles in WWII, securing a decisive bridge crossing. Also some remote German strong points where we can enter into the bunkers and get a feel of what it was like on June 6th, longues Sur mer battery and mulberry B at Arromanches Les Bains.

Your Bayeux tour itinerary

This tour begins at American Cemetery above Omaha Beach, it's a perfect place to begin to pay our respects to the fallen heroes and examine the superb maps on the memorial walls to explain Operation Overlord. We will then spend some time from the east to west of the beach to examine the German defenses and discuss the American and German strategies. Heading west and north-west towards Carentan and Cherbourg, stopping at La Pointe Du Hoc to see where the 2nd Rangers climbed the Cliffs to overwhelm the German Strong point. Then we will head up to Utah Beach, where Theodore Roosevelt Landed and began his war. In keeping with the American advance we head west to join up with the airborne forces, crossing the 101st dropping zones where Dick Winters, portrayed in the series 'Band of Brothers' began his heroic struggle and to the historical town of Sainte mere Eglise where around 30 airborne troops were dropped off course into the town. We then visit longues Sur mer battery and finally finish at Arromanches.
