Pointe du Hoc
With your driver-guide you will travel to the Normandy beaches in an air-conditioned minivan. Once you arrive in the Calvados county in Normandy, you will stop at “The Pointe du Hoc”, 100 feet high cliffs between Omaha and Utah beaches. In mid 1943 the german TODD organisation set up 6 long range artillery guns (155mm caliber) housed in concrete bunkers and facing the english channel above the cliff. In fact, "Pointe du Hoc" was one of the thousand german stronghold positions of Hitler' project to build a wall of defense along the coast in Europe. Known as « The Atlantic Wall » and which consisted to build bunkers, guns battery and beach obstacles network along the coastline, from the spanish border to Norway in order to prevent any allied invasion. In June 6, 1944 at 07h10 am 225 US Rangers aboard barges landed just below from the cliffs and began to scale them using ropes in order to stormed the guns emplacement and then destroy them all. Blown up concrete bunkers, bombs craters and traces of the battle are still visibles today.

4.00Fabrice was our guide and driver. The trip to Normandy from Paris was about three hours and he got us there efficiently with an explanation of the Allied invasion along the way. We saw all the sites as promised, and he gave us a little talk at each location. It was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Pictures from D Day would have been helpful.
Top notch tour

5.00When the subject is D-Day you can read books and watch movies but the experience of being where such bravery and sacrifice occurred is overwhelming. Regis, our knowledgeable guide, was a wealth of information and details well beyond the battle. A visit to Normandy and Omaha Beach confirms beyond argument that freedom is not free.
Great trip

5.00Viator did a great job with advertising & offering the different types of sites for the customers. Making the reservation was easy & Viator did an amazing service of providing constant updates & communication throughout the entire process. On the day of the event the tour guide/ driver was prompt, very polite & professional. The guide was very knowledgeable of all aspects of the locations & sites we visited and explored. He provided additional details of the local areas that we traveled through. The guide kept us on track and provided a very relaxing experience. I would highly recommend Viator & this tour guide.
From Ohio to Normandy, a meaningful trip.

2.00Having known this site a few years ago, I am disappointed by this "obligatory" path that makes you not see much of the place anymore. The vegetation took over these rights, which is good but at the time being able to walk freely on the whole site was a more mature experience to really become aware of the place and its history.... In short a little disappointed
