Operation Overlord. American battlefields and D-day beaches shore excursion from Cherbourg.

I'll pick you up in Cherbourg at 8. 30/9. 00 and we'll drive to Sainte Mere Eglise made famous in "The longest day" film and the center of the American airborne drop. On the way to Utah, I'll explain to you the "Bocage", the tricky Normand landscape partially floaded on D-day. On Utah we'll see the beach and memorials. Next is the German battery of La Pointe du Hoc, one of the most world famous D-day sites. You'll hear how the rangers scalled the cliffs to destroy the cannons that could fire on Utah and Omaha beaches. From there we'll head on to Omaha beach and I'll show you the remaining of the Atlantic wall, German defences that you can visit. Finally we'll visit the stunning and moving American cemetery where over 9000 Battle of Normandy victims lay to rest. I'll drop you back in Cherbourg at 17. 30.
