You have one stop in Cherbourg and you want to visit the American sectors, Utah and Omaha Beach, with a local experienced guide? This tour is for you. Being from Cherbourg, I will be proud and happy to welcome you in my city/region. I have been a guide for almost 10 years and my specialty is Second World War and the 20th century History. I started to guide in the largest WW2 museum in Normandy specifically with school kids for 3 years. I left the museum because I wanted to guide oudoor and to do it in English, and I've been doing that since 2016. I love this job and I wouldn't change for anything else.
Starting from the Cruise Terminal in Cherbourg, we go straight to Omaha Sector to visit the beach, where I'll explain the details of the largest amphibious operation ever made! The soldiers of the 1st and 29th Infantry Division suffered the highest number of casualties on Omaha Beach on June 6th 1944. The US Cemetery is located near the beach and you will learn more abouth this very special place where 9 386 soldiers are resting in peace. Pointe du Hoc is the most visual place related to ww2 that you can visit since they left the place intact with bomb craters and bunkers. Discover the story of the brave Rangers who climbed the cliff ! After Lunch, we will visit Sainte-Mere-Eglise and talk about the 101st and 29th US airborne divisions. We finish the tour with the visit of Utah Beach where the 4th US Infantry Division landed led by the famous Theodore Roosevelt Jr! We return to the ship after that. At the end of the day, you'll have seen all the sectors where the American troops were involved on DDay!
