What's included in Full Day Tour of Omaha and Utah Beach with a Professional Guide
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Sainte-Mere-Eglise
Discover one of the most iconic Normandy towns, a place made famous by John Steele, F/505 PIR, and other members of 82 Div., and depicted in the book and later in the movie "The longest day". It is considered to have been the very first town liberated by U.S. paratroopers on June 6, 1944, and became, by the end of the war, an American sanctuary in Normandy with over 13,000 American dead resting in its temporary cemeteries.
Utah Beach
Situated at the western end of the assault area, this sector was not included in the initial draft of the "Overlord" plan but was added later in order to facilitate the taking of a deep-water port. Despite a few problems that influenced the actual landings of the 4 US Div., Utah came to be remembered as the beach with the fewest D-Day casualties.
Manoir de Brecourt
Located on the outskirts of Ste. Marie du Mont, Brecourt Manor /battery was assaulted in the morning of June 6 by elements of Easy Company under the leadership of Richard 'Dick' Winters, US paratroopers immortalized in the book & TV series 'The band of Brothers'. Revisit their actions a stone's throw away from the hedgerow that on D-Day was concealing four pieces of artillery capable to lob shells on Utah Beach.
