Private Tours are designed to allow you to discover the D-Day sites in optimal conditions. Each circuit is indeed preceded by a "briefing" which will allow us first of all to get to know each other, then to contextualize the events of June 6, 1944. This moment may also be an opportunity for you to express specific requests. For example linked to the story of a member of your family who fought in Normandy. The "small group" format also allows you to adapt the pace of the visit to your own needs and desires. If the price of admission to the museums is not included in the price, the circuits are however designed to allow you to take advantage of this opportunity and to devote approximately one hour to the visit of one of these (you benefit from the reduced rate granted to Memory Tracks).

To begin our discovery of Omaha beach, we will first position ourselves on the heights which dominate the beach, at its eastern end. You will then benefit from an extraordinary point of view over the 7 kilometers of Omaha and we will then discuss in detail the operations that took place there on June 6, 1944. Then, secondly, we will reach the beach that you can browse freely, at your own pace, a few tens of meters from the German position coded "Wn62", which dominates this beach sector.
The "Widerstandnest 62" is a German fortified position which, on June 6, 1944, resisted the assault of the men of the 116th Infantry Regiment of the United States until the beginning of the afternoon. Unfortunately, it caused many victims among the GIs, many of whom have been resting since then, a few hundred meters away, in the American military cemetery at Colleville.
The third stage of the day is a very symbolic place of the American commitment in Europe during the Second World War, and is particularly charged with emotions: at your own pace, you will discover the American military cemetery of Colleville sur mer, where 9387 soldiers are buried. killed on D-Day or during the Battle of Normandy.
