What To Expect
D-Day Beaches (Plages du Debarquement de la Bataille de Normandie)
We will take you for a guided tour of the Landing Beaches in Normandy including Arromanche where can be seen the remains of a Mulberry harbor. Built thanks to Churchill's vision within a few days after D-Day. On the way to Omaha beach, visit the site of the powerful German battery at Longues-sur-mer. Continue with Omaha Beach and the moving Normandy American cemetery where 9385 Carrara marble crosses stand aligned. A memorial, inscribed with a map of the operations stands in the central alley and in the back, there is a museum. Drive and stop along the beach where your guide will show you some of the German bunkers and machine-gun nests. One of the most impressive site in Normandy, is perhaps Pointe du Hoc where the 2nd battalions of specially trained Rangers under the command of colonel James Earl Rudder captured the position by assault at dawn on 6 June, scaling the cliffs with ropes and extendible ladders Return to Paris
Vestiges du Port de Mulberry
We will take you for a guided tour of the Landing Beaches in Normandy including Arromanche where can be seen the remains of a Mulberry harbor. Built thanks to Churchill's vision within a few days after D-Day. This "temporary" port was used to disembark an army with all the men and supplies necessary to liberate Europe. It is one of the most extraordinary industrial and maritime achievement of the war.

5.00We had booked with a different tour guide, based on TripAdvisor recommendations, but Covid intervened and Brigitte Simon agreed to be our guide. She could not have been better!. We visited the coastal beaches from Arromanches-les-Bains, site of a Mulberry harbor, to Omaha Beach. She had maps, pictures, and knew all the history and military strategies used during the D-Day invasion. We had a wonderful lunch at a restaurant on a working harbor (whose name I forget) and toured the American Cemetery. It is FAR superior to have Brigitte take you on a full day of touring in her very comfortable vehicle, than to try to navigate the country roads yourself. It will be one of your favorite days in Normandy. It certainly was ours!

5.00Most powerful tour I have ever take. Walking along Utah and Omaha beaches was truly walking on hallowed ground. Thinking of the sacrifices made by my grandfathers generation was very emotional. Our tour guide Guy was far and away the best guide we have very had the pleasure to follow

5.00We had a wonderful day with Al. He picked us up right on time and the mini-bus was comfortable and clean. He's quite knowledgable and answered all our questions. I had requested a booster seat for my child and he had it ready to go. Al is a good driver and made the 3-hour trip from Paris enjoyable. We saw all the major points of interest listed in the description and also made a trip to a German cemetery. He was kind to my daughter and included her in his discussions which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend this tour for families who don't want to go on a large-group tour. You are able to customize the trip and make decisions on the fly. Thanks for a great day!

4.00Our guide was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and brought the history to life. She was a good driver, accommodated required breaks and recommended a great restaurant for lunch.
The only drawback was that the trip advertised that we would be picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Since we were staying a ways outside of Paris, we had to commute by bus and train to meet the guide.
