Your Itinerary

Pointe du Hoc

Pointe du Hoc is a high point between two of the five D-Day landing beaches, Utah and Omaha. It is renowned for the daring assault conducted on 6 June 1944 by the 2nd U.S. Ranger Battalion in an effort to neutralise the German artillery battery there. Start your tour at the Visitor's Center.

Omaha Beach

Omaha Beach was part of the invasion area assigned to the U.S. First Army, under Lieutenant General Omar Bradley. The assault sectors at Omaha were code-named (from west to east) Charlie, Dog (consisting of Green, White, and Red sections), Easy (Green and Red sections), and Fox (Green and Red sections). We will have one or two stops on Omaha Beach, at either Vierville, St Laurent and/or Colleville.

Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

This World War II cemetery in France contains the graves of nearly 9400 war dead, and nearly 1600 names on the Walls of the Missing. This tour makes extra time for you to be able to explore the Visitor's Center.

Overlord Museum - Omaha Beach

Located 500 meters from the American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer and the famous beach of Omaha Beach, OVERLORD MUSEUM makes you discover a unique collection of more than 10,000 pieces, which traces the history of the Battle of Normandy until the liberation of Paris.
