Overview of your Bayeux tour:

Since 2013, I have been specializing in Private Guided tours of the D-Day Landing Beaches and the Battle of Normandy. I will be glad to share my knowledge about the most impressive naval campaign. With me you'll discover the carnage unleashed here in Normandy on 6 June 1944. The tour can involve lots of action/walking about/exploring bunkers if you're in to that and depending on how energetic you feel, but a little warning about the weather in Normandy- it could be really nice, sunny, warm, shorts and tee-shirts weather when you're here. It could equally be nasty, cold, windy, raining when you're here. (Eisenhower's comment in the middle of a rainstorm on June 2nd 1944- "Don't you guys get a summer over here?") My best answer is: it rains only 2 days in Normandy, but each day lasts 6 months! So get well packed, get nice shoes and get ready for the DD experience ( walking through the fields, hedges! Normally, one museum can be done during the tour and the entrance fee generally costs from 6 to 10 euros.

Your Bayeux tour itinerary

The D-Day Landing beaches cover about 62 miles (100km) of coastline with 5 landing sectors (from West to East) Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword (located between 5-18 miles (8 to 30km) each apart). We start the day by driving to the WEST to the US Airborne Drop Zones :Ste Mere Eglise , La Fiere Bridge, Saint Come du Mont. This area hides the overwhelming details of the US Airborne DI arrival. Next step is La Pointe du Hoc, remarkable experience discovering the German bunkers at the top of 100 feet high cliff. Among the most powerful and the most humbling sites are Omaha beach and the American Cemetery. If we are really quick, the Longues sur Mer Gun Battery or the Mulberry Artificial Harbour at Arromanches can be seen. The British sectors Gold and Sword beach could be combined into one day tour. The Canadian sector includes the sites as Juno Beach, The Commonwealth Cemeteries, Garden of the Canadiens at the Abbey of Ardennes, following the steps of the 3rd Canadian DI.
