Program & Itinerary
Unveiling the D-Day Battlefields: A Guided Journey Through History
Join us on a full-day journey through the hallowed grounds of Normandy, where the course of World War II was forever changed. Walk in the footsteps of the Allied soldiers who landed on D-Day and uncover their extraordinary stories with your English-speaking local guide, a true expert in WWII history.
Your Normandy D-Day tour begins in Bayeux, where you’ll meet your friendly guide at a central location. Step aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes minivan, equipped with an onboard P.A. system for clear and engaging commentary throughout the day.
Discover the Key D-Day Landmarks
Sainte-Mère-Église
Start your day in Sainte-Mère-Église, one of the most symbolic towns of the Normandy landings. This village became a strategic point when American paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division descended here just before dawn on June 6, 1944. Visit the historic church—famous for the paratrooper figure suspended from its steeple—and learn about the dramatic airborne operations that changed the course of the invasion.
Utah Beach
Continue to Utah Beach, the westernmost Allied landing area of D-Day. Stroll along the sands where American troops achieved one of the most successful beach landings of Operation Overlord. Your guide will recount the challenges and strategies behind this victory and its crucial impact on the liberation of Western Europe.
Pointe du Hoc (or Alternative Sites)
Make your way to Pointe du Hoc, a towering cliff between Utah and Omaha Beaches. It was here that U.S. Army Rangers carried out one of the most daring assaults of the invasion, scaling the cliffs under heavy fire to neutralize German defenses.
Important note: Due to road and construction works at Pointe du Hoc, access to the site may be limited in 2026 and 2027. In the event of closure, your visit will be replaced by another historically significant location such as Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, Angoville, or Carentan, ensuring the same depth of historical insight and experience.
Omaha Beach
Next, visit Omaha Beach, one of the most intense battle zones of D-Day. Walk along the shoreline where thousands of soldiers fought with incredible bravery against formidable odds. As your guide shares stories of the operation and its lasting legacy, you’ll gain a deep sense of respect for the men who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial
Conclude your day at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer. Overlooking Omaha Beach, this awe-inspiring site honors more than 9,000 American servicemen. Stroll among the perfectly aligned white crosses, visit the reflection pool and chapel, and—if time permits—stop at the Omaha Beach Visitor Center, featuring exhibits that provide a deeper understanding of D-Day’s human and historical impact.
Throughout the day, your guide will enhance your journey with personal stories, historical context, and recommendations for local lunch options along the way.
