Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Départ à 7h15 de notre agence dans le centre de Paris, située à quelques pas du Louvre. Rencontrez votre Guide chauffeur et installez-vous dans un confortable monospace climatisé pour votre voyage d'une journée en Normandie. En quittant Paris, profitez des paysages changeants de la campagne Française pendant que votre Guide présente le contexte historique du jour J et de l'opération Overlord.
Continuez jusqu'à Omaha Beach, l'un des sites d'atterrissage les plus célèbres et tragiques du 6 juin 1944. Connu pour les lourdes pertes subies par les forces alliées, ce tronçon de littoral a joué un rôle décisif dans le succès de l'opération Overlord. Votre Guide expliquera les défis auxquels les soldats ont été confrontés lorsqu'ils ont atterri sous le feu intense de l'ennemi, ainsi que l'importance stratégique de ce secteur. Aujourd'hui, Omaha Beach est un endroit paisible et émouvant, offrant un temps de réflexion et de recueillement.
Visitez le cimetière américain de Normandie, surplombant Omaha Beach. Ce site solennel et magnifiquement entretenu est la dernière demeure de milliers de soldats américains qui ont donné leur vie pendant la libération de l'Europe. Marchez parmi les croix blanches et les étoiles de David, visitez le mémorial et prenez un moment pour réfléchir à l'ampleur du sacrifice. Selon le moment choisi, vous pourrez également visiter le centre d'accueil moderne, qui propose des expositions, des films, des photographies et des histoires personnelles qui donnent vie aux événements du jour J.
Passez par Arromanches-les-Bains, ville côtière étroitement liée au succès de l'invasion alliée. Arromanches est célèbre pour les vestiges du port artificiel de Mulberry, une réalisation technique extraordinaire créée pour soutenir les forces de débarquement après le jour J. Ces structures portuaires flottantes permettaient de ramener des troupes, des véhicules et du ravitaillement à terre, jouant un rôle crucial dans l'avancée alliée à travers la Normandie.
Votre prochaine étape est la Pointe du Hoc, une fortification Allemande stratégique attaquée par les Rangers américains le jour J. Marchez parmi les bunkers préservés, les positions d'artillerie et les profonds cratères de bombes qui marquent encore le paysage aujourd'hui. Surplombant la Manche, ce site spectaculaire au sommet d'une falaise offre des vues impressionnantes et se présente comme un hommage puissant à la bravoure des soldats qui ont combattu ici lors de l'une des opérations les plus audacieuses du 6 juin 1944.
Retour à Paris le soir après une journée pleine et riche en sens en Normandie. Cette excursion d'une journée en petit groupe offre une puissante combinaison d'histoire, de souvenir et de découverte guidée, idéale pour les voyageurs désireux de mieux comprendre les événements du jour J et les sacrifices consentis lors de la libération de la France.

Very interesting tour. However, the guide did not have an audio system in the van. Passengers in the rear had difficulty hearing.
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes heureux que la visite des plages du Débarquement vous ait plu et que vous l’ayez trouvée intéressante. Nous comprenons toutefois la gêne causée par l’absence de système audio, et nous prenons bonne note de votre remarque pour améliorer le confort de nos passagers. Au plaisir de vous revoir lors d’une croisière sur la Seine ou d’une visite guidée du Louvre. Alice de France Tourisme
Best trip ever. Our tour guide, Amine, was very knowledgeable and also professional. He made the trip very interesting despite the long drive to and from Normandy. The site was beautifully done and very touching. The museum was amazing with lots of history to take on. Overall, well worth it. We loved it.
Thank you once again for your amazing feedback — we’re truly honored that you chose to join us on several of our tours! We’re especially touched by your words about the Normandy D-Day tour. Amine is passionate about sharing this powerful chapter of history, and he’ll be grateful for your kind recognition. We’d be delighted to see you again on another journey — perhaps to Reims for Champagne tasting or a relaxing sunset cruise on the Seine. Warm regards, Alice from France Tourisme
An historical must see one day trip with minivan from Paris to Normandie and some of the many viewpoints from D-day such as landing beaches Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach as well as the American Cemetery. Perhaps we where not that lucky with the weather during this day, but it was very authentic. Our guide was very engaged in his tripmembers, very skilled in the history of the visited landmarks. The buss trip itself took like 4 hours driving one way, but it felt it ended in a glimse with our driver always making sure we where all ok. Stronly recommend this tour if you are in Paris and want to spend one day at some great landmarks in Normandie
Dear Customer’s Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted that, even with less-than-perfect weather, you found the Normandy tour to be such a meaningful and authentic experience. It’s wonderful to hear that your guide's passion and knowledge made the day so enriching, and that the journey felt smooth and cared for thanks to your attentive driver. We’d love to welcome you again soon — perhaps for a Loire Valley castles tour or a peaceful Seine dinner cruise to continue your journey through France’s rich history and beauty. See you next time! Alice de France Tourisme
It’s very important to be on time, especially if you’re going on a long all day trip. And should there be last minute changes in your trip itinerary, you will need to be flexible.
Hello Leslie, Thank you for your message. We fully recognize the importance of punctuality, especially during a long day with an excursion. Please accept our sincere apologies if any delays or last-minute changes have caused inconvenience. Rest assured that we are doing everything we can to adhere to the planned schedule and to remain as flexible as possible in the face of unforeseen circumstances. Have a nice day. Alice from France Tourisme
I love the places we saw and learned a lot by reading. The tour guide was basically a driver and did not provide us with much historical information. When we stopped for lunch, many of the restaurants were closed. I also wonder why he could not drop us off near our hotel since it was on the route back. We can all save money.
The tour is very good. I wish we could have stayed longer and gone into a few of the museums that we drove by and were told they were there. More time would have been better.
Hi Alan, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback, which helps us to continually improve. We are sorry to hear that the tour was too short for your liking and we understand your disappointment. The Normandy Day Trip is a very popular excursion with our clients as it allows them to discover the rich history of the region by visiting the landing beaches of Normandy, an emblematic site of the Second World War. As this site is more than 3 hours from Paris, it is difficult to add museum visits to the day trip. However, we do offer 2 day tours to this destination which include a visit to Mont Saint Michel. We are glad you still enjoyed the tour and hope to see you again ! Have a nice day, Alice from France Tourisme
I enjoyed my trip to Normandy it was really great, the guide rolland was very efficient and he seemed really passionate about what he was doing. Merci rolland !
