Itinerario
Hay una caminata sustancial y una charla histórica en cada lugar a lo largo de la costa, incluida una visita respetuosa del Cementerio Americano y el centro de visitantes.
14.000 paracaidistas fueron lanzados antes del amanecer en la península de Cherburgo. Una unidad aterrizó accidentalmente en la plaza del pueblo de Sainte-Mère-Église, y un aviador quedó colgando del campanario de la iglesia. La historia de su supervivencia, más la liberación del pueblo, inicia el día de gira.
Utah Beach fue la primera playa donde desembarcaron los aliados en la mañana del 6 de junio. La costa era una cabeza de playa imprescindible en la región de Cotentin para capturar Cherburgo y su puerto de aguas profundas. 23.000 soldados estadounidenses en Utah durante muchos días.
"Bloody Omaha" fue un vínculo crucial entre Utah Beach y el sector de la invasión británica. Los desembarcos a destiempo, los tanques hundidos y la falta de apoyo de artillería concentrado retrasaron la toma de los 8 kilómetros cruciales, que debían tomarse a las 7 a.m., hasta bien entrada la noche.
Una parte fascinante de la historia del Día D es visitar el impresionante acantilado por el que treparon los Rangers del Ejército, directamente hacia los disparos alemanes. Los heroicos hombres no tenían idea de que las armas habían sido movidas y concentradas justo en su sector.
La modesta ciudad pesquera y turística de Arromanches fue un punto de apoyo clave para los Aliados el 6 de junio. Los restos de las llamadas "Mulberrys" permanecen en alta mar, donde el mar embravecido de la bahía fue lo suficientemente domesticado como para mantener los barcos anclados y mantener una cadena de suministro. para las tropas.
Este acantilado con vista al Canal de la Mancha y la playa de Omaha es el sitio del Cementerio Americano y centro de visitantes. Más de 9.000 militares perdieron la vida asegurando las playas. Propiedad y gestión de la Comisión Estadounidense de Monumentos del Campo de Batalla, el sitio tiene 172 acres. Un mapa cuadriculado señala las ubicaciones de las tumbas y un lugar muy conmovedor es el Muro de los Desaparecidos.

This was a bucket list item for us and it did not disappoint. The train from Paris to Bayeux was early, but easy. Our tour guide, Aurelie, was perfect and incredibly knowledgeable about the locations, the events, and had photographs to accompany her commentary. The tour included the American Cemetery, Utah and Omaha beaches, St Mere Eglise, Arromanches, Point du Hoc, and the Utah Beach Museum. We had lunch in St Mere Eglise and were able to walk around the town and shop a little.
Being this was our second trip in two years, we were skeptical that our guide could outperform last year’s. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with our guide, Alan! His knowledge and passion for the history were evident and unmatched! He clearly had done much research and had brochures, slides, photos, and articles that were from his private collection. He has a Master’s in history and was an excellent teacher/guide! I thought the tour was a bit overpriced but he was excellent!
I went on the two day tour, Normandy and Mont St. Michel. Fortunately we had a history geek on the Normandy tour who had more information for us than could be expected. The only downside was she dropped us off at the meeting point in downtown Bayeux in the rain and proceeded to drive right past our hotel to drop others at the train station. Bummer for us. Overall was great and that won't impact the score. The hotel they put us up in Domaine de Bayeux was outstanding. Very very nice staff, a converted chateau with a breathtaking courtyard. The village is quaint and as my girlfriend stated, adorable. Mont St. Michel was a marvel and something you really shouldn't miss. Very unique and worth the day. Buy first class train tickets upgrade, you'll thank me for the extra space and luggage storage.
What an Amazing trip! I took my son, who had never been there, to experience this historic place. The highlights of the trip were seeing Utah Beach & Sainte-Mere-Eglise, I had never seen them before, but most of all being at the American Cemetery for the flag lowering was truly emotional. Dylan, the tour guide, was exceptional with his knowledge of D-Day and the whole history of the time & area. We were doing this tour in conjunction with a cruise we had been on, and Lauren who I booked the tour with was a great help not only with the tour but also gave me advice on transfer from the ship, getting to Paris, and using transportation while in Europe. Dylan & Lauren made this once in a life time trip with my son a memory we will both carry the rest of our lives! Thank you Both!
Seamless process; communication was clear and concise related to all aspects of the trip. Our tour guide, Axelle, was excellent; extremely knowledgeable, engaging and very responsive to the group! Would highly recommend the tour!!
François, our tour guide had a wealth of information about the history of D-Day. He was very passionate and enthusiastic about what to see and spend energy on.
Igor, our guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and made sure we were able to see key sites in the time allotted. Because we went on a national holiday, it was particularly crowded and we could have easily missed seeing some things.
This day trip from Paris was a highlight of our trip. We had the pleasure of our guide being local to Normandy and only two generations removed from the horrors of war in his home. Igor was a passionate story teller with so much knowledge he was prepared to share with all. If you want a deep dive on WWII History in one day, I recommend this trip!
Our guide, Thierry, was very knowledgeable. He added a lot to the tour with his detailed stories about some of the men who fought in these battles, and the tactics and strategies of the combatants and their commanders. He used pictures and maps of the action in his presentation. Wear comfortable walking shoes and be ready for a few close quarters and steps in the bunkers. Also be ready to stand as your tour guide details what happened in these areas in 1944. Come with your questions. Our guide time the ending to be at the EOD taps and flag lowering.
Thank you Don!
