Normandiet, Omaha Beach og US Cemetery heldag fra Paris
Beskrivelse
På denne heldagstur vil du og din private chauffør-guide udforske de emblematiske steder og landingsstrandene på D-Day. Vi besøger slagmarken ved La Point du Hoc, hvor adskillige bombekratere stadig spreder landskabet. Vi vil spejde adskillige sektioner af Omaha Beach og gå tilbage på sporene af de amerikanske soldater, der formåede at sikre et strandhoved på den mest fjendtlige kyst på D-dagen. Vi vil vise respekt for de tusindvis af faldne helte, der er begravet på den amerikanske kirkegård. Og vi vil se de originale tyske kanoner stadig fastgjort i deres betonbunkere sammen med resterne af den kunstige havn på Gold Beach i Arromanches. Hvis det er interessant, og hvis tiden er tilbage, kan vi køre gennem den maleriske by Bayeux for at se det berygtede antikke "Bayeux-tapet".
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Afhent hos dig i Paris omkring kl. Derefter 3 timers kørsel til Normandiets strande med kaffestop undervejs.
Pointe du Hoc er en 110 fods klippe med udsigt over Den Engelske Kanal beliggende et par miles vest for Omaha Beach. En strategisk position, hvor tyskerne samlede en række artilleri og befæstninger, og hvor den amerikanske anden rangerbataljon angreb og fangede efter at have beskåret den imponerende klippeflade den 6. juni 1944. Du vil være i stand til at udforske originale tyske bunkere ved at gå mellem bombekratrene på en sti, der følger skrænten.
Oplev flere seværdigheder, og gå langs sandet på Omaha-stranden, det største af D-Day-angrebsområderne, hvor USA landede og led deres største tab.
Kirkegården dækker 172 acres med udsigt over Omaha Beachs smukke skrænter og indeholder gravene af 9.386 faldne helte, hvoraf de fleste mistede livet under D-Day-landingen. Oplev de mest berømte historiske grave, historier bag soldaterne, mindesmærket og de forsvundnes have.
Longues-sur-Mer artilleribatteriet inkluderer en skydekommandopost og fire kasematter, der rummer 150 mm kanoner. Dette batteri er det eneste sted i Normandiet, hvor alle de originale våben stadig er tilbage.
Arromanches er et perfekt sted for et frokoststop. Selvom det i dag er en lille ferieby, kan du stadig se rester af den store bølgebryderbetonkonstruktion og dele af ståldæmningen fra den kunstige havn "Mulberry", som blev anlagt her af briterne i juni 1944. Dette var et vigtigt sted for kanalisering af ressourcer til allierede styrker. Det er et vidunder af logistik og teknik.

Pierre-yves was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the sites and also fun. We will definitely book with him if/when we return.
Pierre-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.
I highly recommend this tour with Pierre-Yves who is the perfect guide. He is very professional and knows perfectly the French history. We learnt so many thinks and the day was well organized. He was very kind and accomodating. Our tour was perfect thanks to him and thanks to his tips. He speaks English perfectly and loves his job for sure.
It 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.
