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.
