Normandie D Day Landing Individuelle private Tour von Paris

A long ride in a van is not great, but the driver stopped at once and started the explanation of what happened on D-Day and what we were about to see. Our guide Jean Paul, was very knowledgeable, easy-going and accommodating. He set up a wonderful lunch and gave the US cemetery the reverence it deserved. A great experience.

This was the experience I was hoping to share with family! Our guide, Jean Paul, was the most excellent guide and driver, knowledgeable and engaging! We are grateful for the planning Jean Paul provided to make our time at Saint Mere Eglise, Omaha Beach, Point du Hoc, WN 73 and Normandy Memorial American Cemetery. Humbled by JP’s knowledge of the history of Allies and Axis movements, beaches, bunkers and artillery placements. Several of us had visited a few years ago; this tour took us to Saint Mere Eglise and experienced the Airborne Museum (definitely worth it!). Point du Hoc took our breath away, definitely not to be missed. If you’re looking for the experience of seeing and feeling what our troops felt, this is a company I can’t recommend enough! Lunch was spectacular and a wonderful break to decompress all our feelings- Merci JP and Sarah! Awesome care, great company!

Jean Paul was superb! We arranged a door-to-door tour of Normandy's top sites: Point du Hoc, Omaha Beach, the Overlord Museum, and the American Cemetery. JP picked us up perfectly on time, drove the nearly 3.5 hours from our Vrbo in Paris to the first stop, providing us with various points along the way. Amazingly, the cloudless, sunny sky and hot weather of Paris was replaced by overcast, cold, fog as we approached Normandy, undoubtedly reminiscent of the weather that fateful yet historic day. He provided us with points of interest as we explored the very sites the Allied forces battled 82 years ago. Some of the locations at Point-du-Hoc were closed and inaccessible, but even still, the visit was fantastic. We then went down to the beach. Unfortunately, the tide was high and seas rough, preventing us from actually standing more than a few feet on the shore. It would have been better if we could have seen the Allied perspective, looking up at the cliffs, and look up at the obstacles they had to overcome once they hit the beach. We took a short break for lunch from a local restaurant, and then went to the museum - an incredible collection of actual relics from the 1940s, some of which were found in working order decades later, and acquired. Ending the day at the cemetery was fitting, serene and respectful. The tour ended just after taps was played, and the American flags lowered. Another 3-1/2 hour trip back, JP made the experience worth while. A private tour for our group of 6 (3 adults + 3 teenagers) was perfect! Thank you for an experience I will not soon forget.

JP was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. He took us on successive days to: 1. Giverny / Monet’s gardens; and 2) Normandy, D-Day landing sites, museum and cemetery. He expertly guided us through the sites with efficiency and skill! Highly recommend both tours—and specifically with JP!

Excellent day. Opportunity to see more of beautiful France. The memorial is a sacred place that must be seen. Guide was perfect

Our tour guide went out of his way to make sure that we saw everything that was personally important to us. The day was very special to our family, because my husband’s and his sister’s father had landed at Utah Beach on D-Day. Our children, who had never met this grandfather, were in attendance so that was special for them.
