The D-Day Tour by the Mémorial de Caen is an unforgettable one-day trip for visitors staying in Normandy or in Paris.

You benefit from the services of an expert guide throughout the day. The day starts with a guided visit of the Mémorial de Caen museum, then lunch at the lovely Les Pommiers restaurant at the Mémorial de Caen and an afternoon tour of key WWII D-Day sites.

The Mémorial de Caen offers visitors the opportunity to take a historical journey through the 20th century, discovering major events from the end of the First World War to the fall of the Berlin Wall. It has a whole section covering D-Day and is the only museum in Normandy to relate the intensity of the Invasion that followed and explain its preparation in both enemy camps.

During D-Day guided tour you will learn the story of a day that changed the course of history. This takes place in an air-conditioned 9-seater mini-van.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and especially the Museum; however, coming from Paris by train, it is an exceptionally long day. Viator used to have tours departing from Paris in a van and it was less complicated than having to take trains from different cities. However, just speaking of the tour, it was extremely informative, well planned and we enjoyed it. We learned more about World War II and the guides were very knowledgeable, nice and answered all our questions. I have used Viator in all my trips to Paris and will do so again.

Wow! Anna was a fantastic guide! Easy to find at the meeting point. It’s was just Anna and my wife and I for a personal in-depth tour of the museum. We picked up 5 more and headed to the beaches and the cemetery. So knowledgeable and connecting.

Very informative excursion. Guide was excellent and had great insights and knowledge to share. Left with a real appreciation of the 2 World Wars and how they were “connected “.
