Overview
Take a guided day trip from Paris to explore Normandy’s historic D-Day sites. Start at Utah Beach, where American troops first landed, and learn about the strategic planning behind Operation Overlord. Walk along the battle-scarred coastline and hear stories of the soldiers who helped shape history. Enjoy a pre-arranged Norman-style lunch in a charming port town before heading to Pointe du Hoc. Here, U.S. Army Rangers bravely scaled towering cliffs to capture a key German stronghold. The site remains much as it was, with bomb craters and bunkers overlooking the English Channel. Next, visit Omaha Beach, where you'll have time to walk along the shore and reflect on one of the war’s fiercest battles. The day ends at the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, where nearly 10,000 soldiers are laid to rest. Stroll through the peaceful grounds and take in the powerful tribute to their sacrifice. This immersive tour offers a moving and unforgettable look at the events of D-Day.
