Guided Tour of Normandy D-Day Beaches from Paris, with transport

On June 6, 1944, known as D-Day, the Allies opened a new European front against Third Reich troops during World War II. It was the largest military operation in history, which marked the beginning of the Battle of Normandy and would lead to the end of World War II. Over 150,000 troops from America, Britain, Canada and many other nations landed by sea and air on various beaches along the Normandy coast (Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Juno Beach, etc.) and on the steep cliffs of Pointe du Hoc . Departure at 7 am from the center of Paris for an exceptional day in Normandy. Enjoy the ride in a luxury air-conditioned coach to relax and admire the beautiful landscapes of the Normandy countryside. The first leg of the visit will be on the beaches of Omaha Beach. Invaded by the American Rangers on June 6, it is one of the strong points of the German fortifications on the coast of Normandy, equipped at the time with a large number of pieces of heavy artillery.

Then visit the famous St. Lawrence American War Cemetery, located just above Omaha Beach in the town of Colleville-sur-mer. This 70-hectare site includes 9387 white marble headstones perfectly aligned on a lawn, the memorial, a chapel and the garden of the missing. It now honors American soldiers who died during the Battle of Normandy in World War II and is one of only 25 permanent US cemeteries abroad.

In the afternoon, you will visit the 360 Museum of Arromanches, where you can see the remains of one of the two artificial ports built by the Allies. The last stop is near the sandy beach of Juno and its cemetery, one of the main beaches of the landing of June 6, 1944 by Canadians. Return to Paris around 8 pm.
