Fai una gita di un giorno da Parigi per vedere il settore americano delle spiagge dello sbarco in Normandia. Lascia Parigi al mattino in treno. La tua guida ti incontrerà personalmente alla stazione ferroviaria nella storica città di Bayeux. Lo sfondo storico essenziale è coperto per tutto il giorno, a cominciare dalla chiesa di Saint Mere Eglise e da Utah Beach. L'ora del pranzo è riservata lungo la costa, con ampia scelta di cucina (non inclusa). Il pomeriggio continua la tua escursione in minivan per vedere il porto di Arromanches, la Pointe du Hoc e il cimitero militare americano a Colleville-sur-Mer e il centro visitatori di Omaha Beach.
C'è una passeggiata sostanziale e discorsi storici in ogni punto lungo la costa, inclusa una visita rispettosa del cimitero americano e del centro visitatori.
14.000 paracadutisti furono lanciati prima dell'alba nella penisola di Cherbourg. Un'unità è atterrata accidentalmente nella piazza del villaggio di Sainte-Mère-Église, con un aviatore notoriamente lasciato penzolare dal campanile della chiesa. La storia della sua sopravvivenza, oltre alla liberazione della città, inizia la giornata del tour.
Utah Beach è stata la prima spiaggia dove sbarcarono gli alleati la mattina del 6 giugno. La costa era una testa di ponte imperativa nella regione del Cotentin per catturare Cherbourg e il suo porto in acque profonde. 23.000 soldati americani nello Utah per molti giorni.
"Bloody Omaha" era un collegamento cruciale tra Utah Beach e il settore dell'invasione britannica. Sbarchi fuori orario, carri armati affondati e mancanza di un supporto mirato di artiglieria hanno ritardato la presa degli 8 chilometri cruciali, che dovrebbero essere presi entro le 7 del mattino, fino a tarda sera.
Visitare la splendida scogliera dove i Rangers dell'esercito sono saliti verso l'alto, direttamente negli spari tedeschi è una parte affascinante della storia del D Day. Gli eroici uomini non avevano idea che i cannoni fossero stati spostati e concentrati proprio nel loro settore.
Il 6 giugno, la modesta località balneare e peschereccia di Arromanches è stata un punto di riferimento fondamentale per gli Alleati. I resti dei cosiddetti "Mulberrys" rimangono al largo, dove il mare agitato della baia è stato addomesticato abbastanza da mantenere le navi ancorate e mantenere una catena di approvvigionamento per le truppe.
Questa scogliera che domina il Canale della Manica e Omaha Beach è il sito del cimitero americano e del centro visitatori. Più di 9.000 militari hanno perso la vita per proteggere le spiagge. Di proprietà e gestito dall'American Battlefield Monument Commission, il sito è di 172 acri. Una mappa a griglia rileva le posizioni delle tombe e un punto molto commovente è il Muro dei dispersi.

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!
Francois was the best guide. We would highly recommend him. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the tour and area.
Thank you Jason!
