On this full-day tour, you and your private driver-guide will explore the emblematic sites and the landing beaches of D-Day. We will visit the battlefield at La Point du Hoc, where numerous bombs craters still scatter the landscape. We will scout several sections of Omaha Beach, retracing the steps of the US soldiers who managed to secure a beachhead on the most hostile seashore on D-Day. We will pay respects to the thousands of fallen heroes buried at the US cemetery. And we will see the original German canons still fixed in their concrete bunkers, along with the remains of the artificial harbor on Gold Beach in Arromanches. If of interest and if time remains, we can drive through the quaint town of Bayeux to view the infamous ancient "Tapestry of Bayeux".

The Pointe du Hoc is a 110 ft cliff overlooking the English Channel located a few miles west of Omaha Beach. A strategic position where the Germans assembled a series of artillery and fortifications and where the US Second Ranger Battalion attacked and captured after scaling the impressive rock face on June 6th, 1944. You'll be able to explore original German bunkers by walking between the bomb craters on a path following the bluff.
Discover several points of interest and walk the sands of Omaha beach, the largest of the D-Day assault areas, where the US landed and suffered their greatest casualties.
