Sainte-Mere-Eglise
This town holds a significant place in history as one of the first liberated during D-Day in World War II.

Omaha Beach
One of the most poignant stops on this tour is Omaha Beach, famously known as "Bloody Omaha." As a primary landing site during the D-Day invasion of Normandy in World War II, it witnessed some of the fiercest fighting of the campaign. Today, the beach stands as a powerful tribute to the courage and sacrifices of the Allied forces in one of history’s most pivotal military operations. Visitors will have the chance to walk along the shoreline, reflect on the historic events, and pay their respects.
