I Anden Verdenskrig var Pointe du Hoc stedet for en række tyske bunkere og maskingeværposter. Forud for invasionen af Normandiet befæstede den tyske hær området med betonkasematter og kanongrave. På D-dagen angreb og erobrede den amerikanske hærs provisoriske rangergruppe Pointe du Hoc efter at have besejret klipperne. De amerikanske generaler inklusive Dwight D. Eisenhower havde fastslået, at stedet husede artilleri, der kunne bremse nærliggende strandangreb. (Wikipedia)
Omaha Beach var en af fem strandlandingssektorer udpeget til den amfibiske angrebskomponent af Operation Overlord under Anden Verdenskrig. Den 6. juni 1944 invaderede de allierede det tyskbesatte Frankrig med landgangene i Normandiet. "Omaha" refererer til en 8-kilometer (5 mi) del af Normandiets kyst, Frankrig, ud mod Den Engelske Kanal, fra øst for Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes til vest for Vierville-sur-Mer på højre bred af Douve-flodens udmunding. Landinger her var nødvendige for at forbinde de britiske landgange mod øst ved Gold med den amerikanske landgang mod vest ved Utah, hvilket gav en kontinuerlig indlogering på Normandiets kyst ved Seinebugten. At tage Omaha skulle være ansvaret for de amerikanske hærtropper, med søtransport, minerydning og en flådebombardementstyrke, der overvejende var leveret af den amerikanske flåde og kystvagt, med bidrag fra de britiske, canadiske og frie franske flåder.

Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial er en kirkegård og mindesmærke fra Anden Verdenskrig, der ærer amerikanske tropper, der døde i Europa under Anden Verdenskrig. Et mindesmærke på kirkegården omfatter kort og detaljer over landgangene i Normandiet og militære operationer, der fulgte. Ved mindesmærkets centrum er Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves, en bronzestatue. Kirkegården omfatter også to flagstænger, hvor folk på forskellige tidspunkter samles for at se de amerikanske flag blive sænket og foldet. Kirkegården, som blev indviet i 1956, er den mest besøgte kirkegård af dem, der vedligeholdes af American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), med en million besøgende om året. I 2007 åbnede ABMC et besøgscenter på kirkegården, der fortæller om den globale betydning og betydning af Operation Overlord. (Wikipedia)

My husband and I took this tour on 27 May with Oliver as our guide. The Memorial de Caen Museum was the perfect introduction and setup for our later excursions to D-Day sites. Oliver was pleasant, accommodating and very knowledgeable and he chose exhibits to concentrate on that wove together the story of the lead-up to WWII. From the museum, we rode in a comfortable van to Point-du-Hoc where we were able to see and explore a casemate built by German forces. Oliver made us understand the issues encountered by the American soldiers who had to scale cliffs from the beach in order to take out the German guns. Next we traveled to Omaha Beach and again, Oliver’s telling of the experiences of the men who came ashore there made the scene come to life. We really understood the courage and determination required of those soldiers. Our final stop was the American Cemetery at Colville-sur-Mer. We arrived in time to observe the moving ceremony where ‘Taps’ is played and the American flag is lowered. This was a tour that we will not soon forget.
Very nice visiting experience in this memorial which is really very complete. Photos, videos and models are very well done.
A glimpse of history that includes not only the 2 GM - it starts from the history of Western and Eastern totalisms passing through all the great events of World War II, including the Shoah and ending with the Cold War. Multimedia museum with unreleased footage...inside an RAF Typhoon from 2 GM and a Soviet Union MIG 21 from the Cold War period
My guide Oliver is very knowledgeable. He articulates all the D-Day details clearly. He shared interesting stories and anecdotes in the cemetery that a tourist won’t find in a guide book. Oliver is from England, so non-Francophone needn’t worry.
The guided tour of the beaches of Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc as well as the American cemetery was a real pleasure with our guide Pierre-Antoine. Anecdotes that only a guide can tell you about soldiers' lives. Possible exchange with questions. An experience we recommend. Another day visit the Memorial. Moving, rewarding. Do not hesitate!
Beautiful excursion to the landing beaches with Antoine and Patrick. Very rewarding experience...
Excellent guided tour of Caen Museum. We are British so great to have an excellent guide called Oliver Green who was so knowledgeable. It really brought the experience of what happened in WW2 vividly alive. Thanks.
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.
This was such a special day in our trip. Our guide Mel was fantastic, and knew SO much about various aspects of WWII, we learnt a lot. It was such a privilege to go on this full day tour of the memorial museum, the D-Day beaches and then the cemetery. While it was a big day, it was completely worth it. We will remember this forever! Thank you so much 😊
We had the best guide, unfortunately i don't remember her name but she was from Germany and now living in Caen. She was so polite and really made the tour interesting and relaxing.
