Praias privadas D-Day - Bayeux ou Caen
Descrição
Marcados por lápides gravadas, paisagens marcadas por batalhas e pelas memórias da “Grande Geração” em rápido desaparecimento, prestaremos homenagem aos jovens que deram as suas vidas pela nossa liberdade. Precisamos garantir que a história deles seja transmitida das gerações presentes para as futuras!!! Abordaremos diversos temas: a preparação da operação Overlord, o assalto das primeiras ondas aliadas, a construção dos portos artificiais, a montagem do plano chamariz chamado Fortitude sob o controle do General Patton, a vida cotidiana sob a ocupação alemã e as relações entre os libertadores e os civis franceses, o envolvimento da resistência francesa, a construção do muro do Atlântico, as posições alemãs, o esforço de guerra, o papel das mulheres, os correspondentes de guerra, as minorias como os codificadores, os correios e batalhões de barcaças de balões… Todos os fatos históricos são documentados com mapas militares detalhados, arquivos e fotos dos exércitos aliados e alemães.

Itinerário
Preste homenagem a esses bravos homens no cemitério americano, onde 10.000 soldados americanos estão enterrados ou desaparecidos em combate. Pare na praia de Omaha para visitar um ponto forte, parte da parede atlântica.
Pare na bateria alemã La Pointe du Hoc, o único lugar onde enormes crateras ainda são visíveis devido aos bombardeios navais e aéreos. 225 guardas florestais escalaram bravamente os penhascos de 30 metros. Para uma boa compreensão da Muralha do Atlântico ou das defesas alemãs.
Pare na praia de Utah. Almoço no café Roosevelt construído sobre um bunker, ponto de encontro dos veteranos. Visita ao local onde ocorreu o desembarque da 4ª Divisão de Infantaria com o Brigadeiro-General Theodore Roosevelt Junior. Monumentos dedicados à marinha dos EUA com um barco Higgins.
Atravessaremos as famosas sebes que tantas dificuldades causaram às tropas americanas e percorreremos a costa da praia de Utah que liga Sainte-Marie-du-Mont à primeira aldeia libertada de Sainte-Mère-l'Eglise no setor americano .
Pare em Sainte-Mere Eglise. Sainte Mere Eglise é famosa graças ao filme The Longest Day por causa de seu pára-quedista John Steele do 505º Regimento de Infantaria Paraquedista que pousou na torre da igreja. Além disso, dois vitrais foram criados para a igreja para comemorar a libertação da cidade pela 82ª Divisão Aerotransportada em 6 de junho de 1944.

Sarah Valentin was a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide. She is really passionate about the D-Day history and strategy and knew all the little details. I have mobility issues and in planning the itinerary she factored this in so that we could still maximize the sites. She also factored in the tides so that we could see Omaha Beach at low tide as well as the ceremony taking down the flag at the American cemetery at 4:00. We lucked out that we could see both. My husband is a WW2 nut and the two of them eagerly shared information. Highly recommend Sarah!
Every detail of our day was well planned and exactly what we wanted. Sarah customized our day by the tides to maximize what we could see at the beaches and was flexible with our stops based on what we were interested in. Our 21 year old daughter really enjoyed Sarah’s detailed historical knowledge, as did we. We are honored to spend our day seeing these important sites of world history.
Thank you so much Heather for taking the time to leave an excellent review of the visit I organized for you, your husband and your lovely, attentive daughter. I'm glad that, at the end of the day, I was able to give you as much detail as possible about D-Day and that you were able to appreciate the courage of these young soldiers who sacrificed themselves to liberate our countries and defend their homeland. In these troubled times, we must continue to honor these soldiers buried on our soil and so far from their families. We must ensure that our duty to remember lives on for future generations.
Seeing everything that we had read so much about was wonderful. Our guide Sarah was incredible! Her knowledge,explanations and all the visuals she provided were exceptional. We highly recommend this tour.
Hello Sandra, Thank you for taking the time to leave an excellent comment about your appreciation of my work, which I always try to improve every day by keeping informed of book or film releases relating to the Second World War in general. I had an excellent day with you and I would have liked to go much deeper into certain aspects if we had had the opportunity to spend more time together. I wish you a happy end to your stay in France and hope you continue your journey in other parts of Europe. perhaps we'll meet again in Michigan, as it's a state that's on my bucket list. Take care. Sarah, your local Normandy guide.
My husband had read a lot about DDay before we came. But seeing the beaches and landmarks is sobering. Plus Sara was a terrific guide as she knows the area and the history so well. Very knowledgeable. Don't skip it. We did full day tours and learned much.
Dear Marcia, Dear Michael, I thank you very much for this wonderful rating. I'm happy to have been your guide during these 3 days to show you the 5 sectors of the Normandy landing beaches and typical normandy with its local inhabitants. You took the time to leave a comment on the quality of my work and i thank you warmly. I hope to see you again next time to show you the north of france with the battlefields of the first and second world wars. have a great stay in Honfleur where you can live the french way of life for a good 3 weeks. Fondly Sarah
Beach day landing with Sarah Very pleasant, very documented with unusual anecdotes very professional Sarah did not count her time Thank you again very beautiful memory
Bonjour à tous, je vous remercie d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre avis avec la communauté TA. C'est toujours très important pour moi que mes clients portent un regard sur l'appréciation de mon travail. J'essaye en effet de m'améliorer chaque jour en prenant en compte leurs avis et commentaires. J'ai passé une très agréable journée en votre compagnie et j'espère que j'aurai l'occasion dans le futur de vous revoir pour vous montrer d'autres endroits de ma région. Sarah
Sarah was a fantastic tour guide. Our party of 6 (4 adults and 2 children) were able to see the American Cemetery, Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, and Utah Brach, with a fantastic lunch thrown in. We never would have made it to all those sights on our own. Our whole party learned so much. And enjoyed getting to know Sarah's personal connection to French History. Highly Recommend!
Dear Aimee, , Thank you so much for this great review about my work! I'm so glad you had a lovely day with me and you enjoyed a lot your lunch in that special place! Your family gave me the gift of so many good feelings and your children were fantastic! Thank you for your feedback. It's the best reward a guide can receive! Fondly, Sarah
Sarah was every history lover's dream! I cannot speak highly enough of her. Her thorough and detailed knowledge of both the D-Day Landings and the events of WWII as a whole are beyond compare. She went out of her way to fit a 2-3 day tour into the 9 hours we had. Even above her knowledge and professionalism, Sarah took such good care of us, texting with us in advance of our tour and helping us to arrange for dinner and taxi back to the station before our return train trip to Paris. By the time we got to Bayeax, I was quite frazzled because not only had our group tour (thru another Viator affiliate tour company) been cancelled twice, but Viator had also cancelled our private tour (for reasons no one could ever figure out). But Sarah assured me that she was expecting us and we would sort it all out later. (Viator finally confirmed that this private tour company had not inititated the cancel and then "un-cancelled" us.) Sarah was a rock--hospitable, professional and caring!
Thank you Jennifer for this excellent rating. it is very important for me to have feedback on my work and the quality of my interactions. Indeed, it took a long time for us to coordinate but it was worth it. I really enjoyed your company and was very moved by your family history. the presence of your daddy honored me a lot. I wish you all the best for your beautiful family.
Loved our guide and would recommend her to anyone. She was very informative and a lot of fun. Thank you for a great experience
Thank you Michael for taking the time to give your review and for appreciating the quality of my work. I am very happy that you enjoyed your visit, even though it had to be done in less time. Hope you had a safe return after your dinner in Bayeux !
Traveling with friends and family while learning about the history. We enjoyed it wholeheartedly! We especially enjoyed our guide’s personal connection to the local history.
Sarah was an amazing guide. Her knowledge of WWII events and D-Day was impressive. She also went out of her way to show local connection and connections to us in the places we visited. Could have done 2-3 days with her. Will do additional days next time. Merci Sarah
Dear Kirsten, It was such a joy to meet you and your nice family!! I’m very happy that everyone enjoyed that day and I thank you for your kind attitude and your appreciation of my job!! I hope to see you again in Normandy to share many more local connections and to show you hidden gems. Sincerely, Sarah
