The American one day highlights tour, is a comprehensive overview of the two American landings on D-Day. It takes in both the joint airborne/seaborne landing in the Utah Beach sector and the landing at Omaha Beach, finishing at Normandy's American cemetery, located in the coastal commune of Colleville-sur-Mer. In our way from Bayeux to Ste Mere Eglise, another small commune, I'll help you build a big picture of the Allied & German perspectives and main points of view. This as well as all of my tours will start with a detailed talk using maps & photos, so you understand the who, what, where & why of the events that took place in the spots we will cover. Besides learning about history, an added value of this tour are the scenic roads we will drive across, from the coast to the hedgerow countryside, which actually proved challenging to the soldiers that landed here.
*All my tours generally start in Bayeux, unless agreed otherwise. -Having met up with the travellers, we'll proceed in my minibus to Manche, more specifically Ste Mere Eglise, 40mins away from Bayeux. -In Ste Mere Eglise we'll cover the airborne drop in relation to Utah beach and its main objectives, plus the story of the misdrops over the town. -We'll then head to Utah beach, taking in the hedgerow countryside and explaining the problems of fighting in a hedgerow area on route. -We'll stop for lunch at a boulangerie in Carentan. -In the afternoon we'll visit Omaha beach, covering both landings by the 1st & 29th Infantry divsions, plus discuss the problems encountered & how they were overcome. -The tour will finish with a visit to the beautiful American cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, Calvados. -After this, we'd be returning to Bayeux. This itinerary could be customized to best meet your specific preferences, so please send me a message with any special request and I'll do my best to accomodate them.
