Omaha Beach & Charming City of Bayeux - Full Day Shore Excursion

During your journey, you may stopover in our beautiful regions of Le Havre or Honfleur. Would you like to visit the area with a local guide and have a memorable experience? Then this tour is for you. Book an excursion with me to discover part of our rich heritage: the Second World War Landing beaches. Let's see what the American soldiers had to face of and where some brave men were put to rest forever. The Normandy heritage is full of treasures to discover, such as the cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer, a magnificent site of remembrance and meditation overlooking Omaha Beach, or the unbelievable operation of the Amaerican Rangers. We'll also be visiting Bayeux, a city with a medieval past. Trust a published author of History books such as myself to help you go beyond what meets the eye!

•We'll begin with a morning pickup to then drive for around an hour and a half to the D-Day sites. •On our way there, I'll have time to put the Overlord Operation into a global WW2 perspective for you, explaining the main reasons for the importance of the D-Day, as well as why the Allies picked Normandy as a position to start the attack. •Next, we'll reach Battery of « Pointe du Hoc », of the Rangers' attack on the cliffs. •Afterwards, we'll visit Omaha Beach, the site of D-Day's bloodiest battle. •We'll then have lunch nearby Omaha Beach. •Later, we'll visit the US cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer, the largest allies military cemetery in Normandy. •Next, we could either visit the Notre-Dame Cathedral of Bayeux or do a walking tour of the city centre (which would also depend on the time we had left after our visits). This is the perfect place to discuss the epic story of William The Conqueror (first Norman King of England). •At last, we'd return to where we started.
