Itinéraire
Omaha Beach était connue pour être l'objectif militaire le plus difficile lorsque l'invasion de la Normandie était planifiée. Afin d'être sûr que les forces alliées s'en emparèrent, les soldats les plus jeunes et les plus téméraires y furent affectés, la plupart étaient américains. Vous marcherez sur le même sable qu'eux et découvrirez leurs actes d'héroïsme et de sacrifice.
L'opération Overlord était le nom de code donné à l'invasion alliée du nord-ouest de l'Europe. Ce musée possède une collection inégalée d'équipements militaires qui ont servi à défendre ou à attaquer les côtes normandes. Comme un bateau Higgins authentique grandeur nature, avec son volet avant baissé, et d'impressionnants chars Sherman et Panzer.
Cette Batterie Allemande possède un Bunker de Commandement entièrement intact et 3 autres bunkers qui sont toujours armés aujourd'hui. Vous grimperez à l'intérieur des bunkers avec votre Guide et découvrirez ce qui s'est passé le matin du jour J du point de vue de l'Axe. En savoir plus sur les défenses de Rommel connues sous le nom de "mur de l'Atlantique".
Pour le déjeuner, vous vous arrêterez dans un restaurant de style familial comme l'Hostéière. Sur la côte, il n'y a pas de restaurants chics. Il n'y a que de petits endroits avec des aliments locaux frais tels que des salades, des omelettes, des viandes grillées et des crêpes. Nous n'incluons pas votre déjeuner dans le prix de notre voyage. Vous pouvez choisir ce que vous voulez dans le menu. Prévoyez de dépenser 10-20€.
Pointe-du-Hoc était un point défensif Allemand stratégique et le jour J, il était une priorité absolue à capturer. Ici, vous marcherez autour d'immenses cratères de bombes au bord d'une falaise de 110 pieds de haut, en bord de mer. Découvrez comment les Rudders Rangers l'ont escaladé avec des grappins propulsés par fusée et leurs baïonnettes.
Ici, 9 388 tombes en marbre blanc se dressent en lignes parfaitement droites. Vous marcherez parmi les croix et les étoiles de David avec votre guide et rendrez hommage à ceux qui ont tout sacrifié. Vous visiterez les lauréats de la médaille d'honneur ainsi que les frères Niland dont l'histoire réelle a inspiré le film "Saving Private Ryan".
Avant la guerre, il y avait des pommiers à cultiver en Normandie. Les vergers de pommiers de Normandie cultivent des dizaines de variétés de pommes différentes et les transforment en jus de pomme étonnants, en cidres durs et en liqueur forte appelée Calvados. Nous nous arrêterons dans l'un des vergers locaux et vous pourrez déguster le célèbre cidre de Normandie. Nous paierons votre dégustation.

Had a full day tour of the major locations in Normandy in a comfortable minibus with Mathieu our friendly, knowledgeable, and organized tour guide. I highly recommend the tour and the guide.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Normandy tour and that Mathieu made your experience memorable with his knowledge, friendliness, and professionalism. Kind regards, Alice
Was a great way to see the many different sites and learn new facts- our tour guide Julien was so knowledgable and kept the tour interesting while giving us space to explore a bit on our own
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering the sites and that Julien made the tour interesting and enjoyable with his knowledge and guidance. Kind regards, Alice
Absolutely amazing experience! We spent a full day in Normandy with pick up and drop off in Paris. While it was a long day, was a lot more convenient for us to do a day trip on our week long trip to Paris than staying up in Normandy. We went with our 15 yr old daughter who loved the experience as well. The small group tour had two families; 7 people in total. Great size to easily maneuver through the sites. We visited all the highlights in Normandy and our guide Cesar was beyond amazing. He had an unbelievable knowledge base of WWII and the geography and history of the area. As important was his ability to communicate and distill it for guests. He kept adult and kids alike engaged and interested. Was the perfect mix of factual history and anecdotes about aspects of the war. He was also very relatable with the kids, which made the trip enjoyable for everyone. Definitely recommend this tour for others and Cesar if he is available!
Thank you for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a memorable day in Normandy. We’re especially happy that Cesar made the experience engaging and enjoyable for both adults and younger guests with his knowledge and storytelling. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again soon! Kind regards, Alice
Incredible and emotional experience! Our tour guide, Oliver, was fantastic - super friendly, funny, knowledgeable. The trip was an entire day - well worth it but exhausting. Highly recommend.
Tour guide very knowledgeable. Whole tour very organized. No down time or wasted time. Probably one of the best tour experiences of my life.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the organization and knowledge of our guide. We’re very happy it was one of your best tour experiences! Kind regards, Alice
Although the tour covered everything advertised and did follow a pattern (beach to bluff to bunkers to Pointe du Hoc to Cemetery), it felt disjointed and ad hoc. Although we went on side streets to get to locations (private tour versus bus), the routes taken seemed random. Ultimately, I saw and heard a lot, but the presentation seemed unpolished.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your comments and are glad to hear that you were able to visit all the advertised sites. We’re sorry to hear that the flow and presentation of the tour did not fully meet your expectations. We will share your feedback with our team as we continue working to improve the experience for our guests. Kind regards, Alice
The meeting place was easy to find, look for the black corner restaurant with the abundance of pink flower decor above the entrance. Cesar was an excellent guide, full of interesting and new information I had not heard of even with my many years of WW2 documentary watching. He was cordial and worked diligently to support and inform the group. He brought us to a few other locations that were not on the normal itinerary and the group was very exiting about these opportunities. I an highly recommend the offer.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Cesar made your Normandy experience so special with his knowledge, dedication, and passion for history. We’re happy you enjoyed the additional stops and unique insights he shared with the group. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again soon! Kind regards, Alice
The Normandy tour was fantastic! We had a private tour for eight people, consisting of our family and another family vacationing with us. We were especially grateful that the company agreed to pick us up directly from our rental, saving us a 30-minute walk to the original meeting point so early in the morning. Our tour guide, Frankie, was wonderful. He shared a wealth of information with us during the drive and was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough throughout the day. Walking the beaches and other historic sites while hearing the stories of the soldiers who fought there is something we will never forget. This tour was one of the highlights of our London and Paris vacation. We highly recommend it to others!! Unfortunately, we experienced an issue with the tour van that caused us to miss the final activity—the apple cider tasting. While we were visiting the American Cemetery, Frankie took the van to a garage to have it inspected. The grinding noise we had been hearing turned out to be a brake issue, and he felt it was safest for us to return to Paris by train rather than continue the drive. Frankie booked all of our train tickets, made sure we were on our way, and even followed up afterward to ensure we arrived safely back at our rental that evening. The tour company also reached out to us and offered a 15–20% refund because we missed the final activity and had the inconvenience of changing our travel plans. We understand that unexpected situations can happen, but the way Frankie and the company handled everything was truly top-notch customer service. Their professionalism and concern for our safety left a lasting impression, and we would highly recommend this tour to others. I did only give 4 stars instead of 5, because we feel this could have been avoided had the van been inspected the day before the trip.
An unexpected highlight of our vacation! We traveled with ages ranging from 9 to 71 years old and everyone was engaged and enjoyed! Mathew was a wonderful driver and guide. Highly recommend!
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that everyone in your group enjoyed the tour and that Mathew made your experience memorable. We will be happy to share your kind words with him. Kind regards, - Alice
Nicholas was great. He did not chat a lot at first on the drive, but he was very knowledgeable about the history of the reason and opened up as the day went on. He was a safe driver and took us to a nice spot for lunch. You don’t get to see the visitor center due to time constraints, which is unfortunate, but it was a great overview for a day trip.
