On this tour, I'll take you to the main sites where American soldiers landed on D-Day. We'll explore the beaches and other key locations (you’ll be able to walk on the sand if the tide allows!), and I'll share the powerful stories of what unfolded in the early hours of June 6th. We’ll also visit the remaining bunkers and gun positions, and I’ll highlight specific actions that took place there. In addition to this, we'll have the chance to honour the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom by visiting the American Cemetery. This is a peaceful yet very moving place overlooking Omaha Beach — the site of the heaviest Allied losses on D-Day. My focus is on showing you the actual battle sites and cemetery, rather than spending a lot of time in museums. But if you'd like to see a museum, we can absolutely work that in — it'll just mean a little less time at the other locations, but simply let me know, the tour can be customized to your preferences.
·If we were to depart from Bayeux, our first stop would be Sainte-Mère-Eglise, where we'd visit a stained glass church where a famous American paratrooper was caught on the steeple ·Afterwards, we'd visit the Airborne Museum, showcasing the bravery of paratroopers (If you're up to it) ·Next, we'd head to Utah Beach, where American forces launched a major assault. ·A proposed lunch break would follow, before continuing to Pointe du Hoc, where American Rangers scaled cliffs under fire to seize a German battery. ·Moving on, we'd reach Omaha Beach, known as "Bloody Omaha" for its heavy casualties ·Our final stop before returning would be the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, which holds over 9,000 graves ·Finally, we'll drive back to your pick-up location or to the agreed drop off point. The itinerary may vary based on the pickup location (Caen, Le Havre, or Bayeux), so feel free to contact me to discuss a more specific tour schedule!
