Cette visite est idéale pour ceux qui viennent à Bayeux le matin et souhaitent visiter la ville médiévale de Bayeux avant d'embarquer pour une visite guidée des sites du Débarquement. À apprécier également pour ceux qui sont déjà à Bayeux bien sûr ! Commencez par la tristement célèbre plage d'Omaha Beach, puis par le cimetière américain, puis la pointe du Hoc.

Itinéraire
Nous verrons ici de nombreux sites du WN (wiederstandnest) qui vont de Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes à Vierville. Nous visiterons certains de ces points forts, qui étaient les positions allemandes les mieux défendues le long de Omaha. Nous nous arrêterons à WN 62 et WN 65 dans les secteurs Fox Green et Easy Red du débarquement américain et à WN 73 en Dog Green à Vierville. Cette attaque sur la plage était une tâche difficile, confiée au US V Corps (général Gerow), dont la Force O était composée de la 1re Division d’infanterie, de la 29ème Division d’infanterie, des Rangers et de plusieurs unités attachées.
Ce cimetière, qui s'étend sur 200 hectares, est l’un des quatorze cimetières américains permanents construits sur un sol étranger au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il contient les restes de 9387 soldats et femmes tués pour notre liberté. Le cimetière américain de Colleville véhicule un sentiment inoubliable d’honneur, de paix et de sérénité.
Situé sur une falaise à 8 miles à l'ouest du cimetière, ce monument a été créé par la France pour rendre hommage aux éléments du 2nd Battalion des Rangers, placés sous le commandement du LTC James E. RUDDER, qui a escaladé la falaise de plus de 100 pieds. L’officier du renseignement de l’amiral Hall a déclaré: "C’est impossible. Trois vieilles femmes munies de balais pourraient empêcher les Rangers de gravir cette falaise!". RUDDER a répondu au général BRADLEY: "Monsieur, mes rangers peuvent faire le travail pour vous".

Louis Boubat was the best tour guide we had for our entire vacation in France! This was saying a lot considering we have been in and out of most major museums and tourist sites! We are incredibly grateful to have found this tour guide and company! We had a wonderful tour with our family of 5, (3 kids: 14, 12 and 10yo), and he managed to keep them entertained while still educating us on the importance of Omaha Beach, D-Day, American Cemetery and Pointe Du Hoc! Louis was incredibly knowledgeable and was quite passionate about this important event in history. He told great stories about the battle which emphasized its significance and fascinated us. I would hands down strongly recommend Louis Boubat as a tour guide, and I would not see Omaha Beach and these sites without a tour guide. We would have missed most of the important events and sites had we tried to do it alone! Great tour and he really made the history come alive for us! It really made the end of our vacation wonderful! We will be strongly recommending Louis and this tour company to our family and friends! Thank you!
This was the perfect half day trip for my family. Booking was easy through their website and all details were communicated clearly leading up the trip. Pick up was easy. Our guide Thierry, was knowledgeable and engaging. I am a history teacher and I learned so much I can bring to my students. My kids who are 10 and 6 were also welcome and the company and Thierry did everything to also make them welcome. I highly recommend. The half day was perfect and I would consider doing a longer tour when if we return!
My husband and I did the half day Omaha Beach tour with Lucas. He was really excellent. His knowledge, patience and easy going manner made the trip a very enjoyable experience. Well done and thanks for the tip on the Pommeau! Yum!
We loved everything about our tour with Overland! They were able to accommodate us when we asked about availability the next week. They graciously stored our luggage in the van as we arrived in town via train. Remi, our guide, was so knowledgeable and passionate about the tour. We had a perfect amount of time at each of the stops and his information and great reverence literally made the tour. To be fair the air conditioned bus, during the heat waves, was also quite lovely. From booking to dropping us off back at the train station everything was great. It’s a quick walk into town to meet the tour at the start of you would like. We took the train in from Paris, walked into town with our luggage, ate at a great restaurant near the tour pick up and met up with the tour. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
We (2 couples) took the afternoon tour with Oliver as a guide. We could not be more pleased with the tour. We departed and completed the ~5 hour tour on schedule and in complete comfort in an 8-person bus. Oliver was extremely knowledgeable and a fun guide. This tour is #1 for a reason. We would love to do it again, only we would opt for the full day tour next time.
Great afternoon learning about Dday and WWII. Very interesting and informative. Our guide Jean Dilasser was wonderful!
Loic was an amazing tour guide who made our family and group feel at ease and engaged in the tour. His knowledge of not only the Omaha Beach campaign but that of the region helped us appreciate all the sacrifice of our ancestors and allied partners. Would 100 percent recommend!
Guillaume was simply one of the best guides we’ve ever gone on a tour with. Friendly, capable, so full of knowledge, and adept at sharing his knowledge in an easy to understand and engaging manner. (Even our fifteen-year-old daughter loved the tour and usually nothing impresses her!) The tour itself: we visited the German bunkers at the top of the bluff, an American cemetery, and Omaha beach. At each stop there was a good mix of guided sections and free exploring. The meet up and drop off were smooth and easy, and the van was comfy - all in all a wonderful experience.
It was a really good balanced guide, with lots of details about history and the area. A truly competent and knowledgeable guide.
Guide Jean Dilasser was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He also was very accommodating to our young family. Thank you!
