Overview of your Cherbourg en cotentin tour:

Trust me as an experienced and local expert to take you for an emotional day and I will share with you my deep knowledge about D-Day, the Battle of Normandy and all that history entails. Marked by engraved headstones, battle-scarred landscapes and the memories of the fast-disappearing 'Greatest Generation', we will pay tribute to those young men who gave their lives for our freedom. We need to ensure that their story is passed on from present to future generations !!!

Your Cherbourg en cotentin tour itinerary

It is not possible to cover the five landing sectors in one day (Omaha, Utah, Gold and Sword sectors). We will cover different topics: the preparation of the Overlord operation, the assault of the first Allied waves, the construction of the artificial ports, the set up of the decoy plan called Fortitude under the control of General Patton, the daily life under the German occupation and the relationships between the liberators and the French civilians, the involvement of the French resistance, the construction of the Atlantic wall, the German positions, the war effort, the role of the women, the war correspondants, minorities like code talkers, postal and balloon barage battalions … All historical facts are documented with detailed military maps, archives, and pictures from the Allied and German armies. I will design a customized tour according to the different places that you want to see. The classical Normandy Landing Beach tour is: Omaha Beach, the US cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, Ste-Mère-Eglise, Utah Beac
