Ta en dagstur från Paris för att se den amerikanska delen av Normandies landningsstränder. Lämna Paris på morgonen med tåg. Din guide kommer att träffa dig personligen på tågstationen i den historiska staden Bayeux. Viktig historisk bakgrund täcks hela dagen, med början i Saint Mere Eglise Church och Utah Beach. Tid för lunch är avsatt längs kusten, med stort urval av rätter (ingår ej). Eftermiddagen fortsätter din utflykt via minivan för att se Arromanches Harbour, Pointe du Hoc och den amerikanska militärkyrkogården vid Colleville-sur-Mer och besökscentret vid Omaha Beach.
Det finns en omfattande promenad och historiskt samtal vid varje plats längs kusten, inklusive ett respektfullt besök på den amerikanska kyrkogården och besökscentret.
14 000 fallskärmshoppare släpptes före gryningen på Cherbourg-halvön. En enhet landade av misstag på bytorget i Sainte-Mère-Église, med en flygman som var berömd kvar dinglande från kyrktornet. Historien om hans överlevnad, plus befrielsen av staden, startar turnédagen.
Utah Beach var den första stranden där allierade landade på morgonen den 6 juni. Kusten var ett absolut nödvändigt strandhuvud i Cotentin-regionen för att fånga Cherbourg och dess djupvattenhamn. 23 000 amerikanska soldater i Utah under många dagar.
"Bloody Omaha" var en avgörande länk mellan Utah Beach och den brittiska invasionssektorn. Feltidsinställda landningar, grundade stridsvagnar och avsaknad av fokuserat artilleristöd försenade tagningen av de avgörande 8 kilometerna, som beräknas ta sig till 07.00, till långt in på kvällen.
Att besöka den fantastiska klippan där Army Rangers klättrade uppåt, rakt in i tyska skottlossningar, är en trollbindande del av berättelsen om D Day. De heroiska männen hade ingen aning om att vapnen hade flyttats och koncentrerades direkt på deras sektor.
Den blygsamma fiske- och semesterorten Arromanches var ett viktigt fotfäste för de allierade den 6 juni. Rester av så kallade "Mulberrys" finns kvar utanför kusten, där buktens grova hav tämjdes tillräckligt för att hålla fartyg förankrade och upprätthålla en försörjningskedja för trupperna.
Denna bluff med utsikt över Engelska kanalen och Omaha Beach är platsen för den amerikanska kyrkogården och besökscentret. Mer än 9 000 militärer miste livet när de säkrade stränderna. Ägs och drivs av American Battlefield Monument Commission, platsen är 172 hektar stor. En rutnätskarta noterar gravplatser och en mycket rörlig plats är Wall of the Missing.

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!
