Normandie D-dagsutflykt för små grupper med Omaha Beach, kyrkogård och ciderprovning
Beskrivning
Besök de viktigaste D-dagens platser i Normandie på denna liten gruppdagstur från Paris. Du kommer att promenera på Omaha Beach, gå in i tyska bunkrar, besöka Overlord Museum, titta över de 110 fot höga havsklipporna vid Pointe du Hoc och visa din respekt till dem som offrade allt på American Cemetery. För att tillföra lite sötma till ditt besök avnjuter du också en lokal Normandy Hard Cider-provning.

Resplan
Omaha Beach var känt för att vara det svåraste militära målet när invasionen av Normandie planerades. För att vara säker på att de allierade styrkorna tog den tilldelades de yngsta och mest dumdristiga soldaterna, de flesta av dem var amerikanska. Du kommer att gå på samma sand som dem och lära dig om deras hjältemod och offer.
Operation Overlord var kodnamnet som gavs till den allierade invasionen av nordvästra Europa. Detta museum har en oöverträffad samling av militär utrustning som användes för att antingen försvara eller attackera Normandies kust. Som till exempel en autentisk Higgins-båt i full storlek, med sin främre lucka nedåt, och imponerande Sherman- och Panzer-tankar.
Detta Tyska Batteri har en helt intakt Command Bunker och 3 andra bunkrar som fortfarande är beväpnade idag. Du kommer att klättra in i bunkrarna med din Guide och ta reda på vad som hände på morgonen D-dagen från Axelmakternas perspektiv. Lära sig om Rommels försvar känd som "Atlantmuren".
Till lunch stannar du vid en mamma-och-pop-restaurang som l'Hostéière. Vid kusten finns inga tjusiga restauranger. Det finns bara små ställen med färsk lokal mat som sallader, omeletter, grillat kött och crepes. Vi inkluderar inte din lunch i vårt turnépris. Du kan välja vad du vill från menyn. Planerar att spendera 10-20 €.
Pointe-du-Hoc var en strategisk Tysk försvarspunkt och på D-dagen var det högsta prioritet att erövra. Här kommer du att gå runt enorma bombkratrar till kanten av en 110ft hög, kustnära klippa. Lär dig hur Roders Rangers klättrade uppför den med raketdrivna änterkrokar och deras bajonetter.
Här står 9 388 vita marmorgravar i helt raka linjer. Du kommer att gå bland korsen och Davidsstjärnorna med din guide och visa din respekt till dem som offrade allt. Du kommer att besöka Medal of Honor-vinnare och även Niland-bröderna vars verkliga historia inspirerade filmen "Saving Private Ryan".
Innan det blev krig fanns det äppelträd att sköta i Normandie. Äppelodlingarna i Normandie odlar dussintals olika sorter av äpplen och förvandlar dem till fantastiska äppeljuice, hårda cider och stark sprit som kallas Calvados. Vi stannar vid en av de lokala fruktträdgårdarna och du får smaka på några av Normandies berömda cider. Vi betalar för din provning.

Very knowledgeable & thoughtful guide. The small group (8 total) was well worth the money. The guide worked very hard to avoid the large group crowds & made sure that we got into all the sites & even added an extra stop.
Excellent day exploring northern France! Our guide was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and worked hard to avoid the crowds. The small group of just 8 made the experience feel personal and was well worth it. We visited all the key sites, plus an unexpected extra stop. Highly recommended! Regards, - Alice
It’s something everyone should see and experience. Every American needs to go as well as people from other countries.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad the tour was such a memorable day for you. Normandy is truly a special place, and we’re honored to have been part of your visit! - Alice
Booking a smaller more personal tour is the way to go! The tour company provided detailed information and a pick-up location. Our tour guide Chris was amazing. He was passionate about the World War II era. He provided amazing facts and information about Paris and the surrounding areas as we made our way to Utah and Omaha beaches. He kept us engaged with history about local churches and homes before and after the war. He was considerate, friendly, and happy to be our tour guide. He also did a fabulous job avoiding the big bus tours every step of the way. We missed all of them at every stop. He organized it perfectly allowing us to walk on the beach and look at the memorials and plaques while the tide was out. There is only a limited amount of time during the day when possible. Our tour also included the cemetery, museum, bunkers, and a grape juice cider tasting. The local merchants were very lovely and kind. It is very long tour but it is worth every minute! Thank you Chris!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that Chris made your Normandy experience so special with his knowledge, passion, and thoughtful guidance. We’re delighted you enjoyed the itinerary and all the stops along the way. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again! - Alice

It is a long ride 2.5-3 hour by car , the weather was perfect and we enjoyed visiting especially Omaha beach . Bring a pair of flip flops small towel and put toes in the ocean . Our guide Victor was great , I do like more commentary about the areas we are driving through . He was very knowledgeable about Normandy . Overall a great trip , the cemetery was beautiful
This was an amazing opportunity to experience a small slice of history. It was like walking back in time as the homes of Normandy, the beaches, and the bunkers remain as they did 80 years ago. It was such a privilege to have had the opportunity to come experience this window in time. Our tour guide, Arthur, was incredibly knowledgeable, and answered all of our questions very patiently. He drove beautifully, stopped for breaks, and made sure that we were all having a wonderful visit. I cannot say enough about how much everyone should take this tour!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. We’re honored to hear that your visit to Normandy gave you such a meaningful connection to its history. We’re especially glad that Arthur’s knowledge, patience, and care helped make your experience comfortable and memorable. Thank you for your strong recommendation, it truly means a lot to us. - Alice
In early May, my husband and I experienced this truly amazing tour with Philippe, our knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Visiting the D-Day beaches was humbling and meaningful – and we'll never forget it. It was a deeply moving journey through history, filled with so many interesting facts along the way. The tour concluded at the Normandy American Cemetery with a beautiful and solemn Taps ceremony. We'd highly recommend this tour – especially to history buffs.
By going in a small group of 6 we were able to so much more than waiting for a large bus to load and unload at every site.
