Arromanches-les-Bains

Your pilot will take you to Arromanches-les-Bains. It was on this beach that, during the Battle of Normandy, immediately after D-Day on June 6, 1944, the Allies established Port Mulberry B, a temporary artificial harbor to facilitate the landing of heavy equipment, without having to wait for the conquest of deep-water ports such as those of Le Havre or Cherbourg (Cherbourg-en-Cotentin since 2016). Although located in the center of the Gold Beach landing zone, Arromanches was spared the brunt of the fighting on D-Day. In order to facilitate the installation and operation of a port as quickly as possible, it was essential not to damage the beach and to preserve the surrounding communication routes. Therefore, the British troops landed further east, between Asnelles and Ver-sur-Mer, and liberated Arromanches by land on the evening of June 6. The port was thus operational by June 14.

REMY was amazing. He was friendly, humorous and a very good historian. He is so knowledgable about Normandy and the landing of the troops. We definitely suggest this trip. It was a highlight. It is a somber and emotional tour that was handled with the utmost respect.
Great experience

Such an exciting way to experience the amazing history of the region. Philipe was super knowledgeable, accommodating and fun. We really enjoyed the sidecar motorcycle. The helmets and equipment were great. We did the ~7 hour tour and the time flew by. My son (15) and I learned a lot and enjoyed seeing these historic places firsthand. I would 100% recommend this tour.

Surreal experience. Guide (Philippe) was extremely knowledgeable, and cared about our experience. The sites were amazing to see, and the motorcycle ride was totally worth it on a hot day!
