After driving about an hour and a half (times depends on your hotel location). During this first stage, I will talk to you about the succession of events which led France to be occupied by the Nazis in 1940. We will then talk about the planning and preparation operations for the landing of June 6, 1944 and finally discuss the exploits of the 225 men of Colonel Rudder's second ranger battalion.
We will stop in the heart of Omaha Beach in Saint-Laurent sur mer, where you can take some photos and I will suggest some restaurants so you can have a quick lunch before heading to our next stop.
The American cemetery of Colleville sur mer is the most visited site on the landing beaches. We will stop to see, if you wish, a short film which pays tribute to some soldiers who died in combat during the Battle of Normandy. It will also be possible at this location to visit a small commemorative museum. We will then walk with respect among the 9387 tombs of the heroes who died to liberate Europe.
