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.

5.00Pierre-yves, our tour guide, was great. Accommodating our needs and requests! Nice comfortable van. It’s a long drive from Paris (2.5-3 hrs) so you’ll only have time to see the American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach (just a quick drive by with no stop), lunch in the small town of Bayeux and then just one additional stop after lunch. We chose the medic chapel, “Église Saint-Côme et Saint-Damien d'Angoville au Plain, which was close to Utah Beach. Back to Paris by 7:15pm.
The best guide ever !

5.00It is hard describe the fantastic day we had with Pierre Yves as our tour guide for our day trip to the Normandy area of France. To start, Pierre arrived at our hotel in downtown Paris right on time at 7am. We drove for about 2 hours and stopped for a coffee and croissant break. From there it was just under an hour to Point du Hoc. Pierre guided us through the battlefield, pointed out many historical areas and his knowledge of US history and D-Day was outstanding. Our next stop was Omaha Beach. This was moving, seeing the sites and trying to imagine the troops coming ashore and Pierre was extremely helpful with his descriptions of D-Day. We then proceeded to the American Cemetery. We were moved beyond words with the visit. Pierre pointed out many grave sites and had stories about the individuals that were buried. Our last stop was at a coastal town of Port en Bessin. Pierre provided us many options for lunch and we picked Hotel La Marine - my wife and I invited Pierre to join us and to make the day even better, he suggested a magnificent bottle of wine for us to enjoy. We were dropped back off in Paris by 7pm-- Overall the tour was fantastic. Pierre made every effort to let us go at our own pace, we never felt uncomfortable or rushed the entire day. We will contact him on our next trip to guide us at both the Louvre and Versailles on our next visit to Paris.
