This full-day tour from Paris to Normandy lasts about 14 hours and includes an English-speaking expert guide and air-conditioned coach transportation. The tour begins with a journey from Paris to Utah Beach, the westernmost landing site of the D-Day invasion. At Utah Beach, visitors enter the Utah Beach Museum, located in a former German bunker on the beach, where exhibits include an original B-26 airplane and soldiers’ letters. After spending about 45 minutes in the museum, there is approximately 30 minutes to walk along Utah Beach itself and observe the coastline where American troops landed with lighter resistance compared to other beaches. Next, the group travels to a nearby port town for a pre-arranged two-course Norman-style lunch, which includes a glass of Norman cider. After lunch, the tour continues to Pointe du Hoc, where U.S. Army Rangers climbed 100-foot cliffs under fire to capture a German position. Visitors spend about one hour at this site, which still features original German bunkers and bomb craters overlooking the English Channel. The tour then proceeds to Omaha Beach, known for the fiercest fighting on D-Day. Guests have around 30 minutes of free time to walk along the shore and reflect on the battle’s impact. The final stop is the American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer, where nearly 10,000 U.S. soldiers are buried. Visitors spend about 75 minutes walking the grounds, viewing the memorial pool and chapel, and reflecting on the site. The guide remains with the group throughout the day, providing historical information and answering questions. Return transportation to Paris by air-conditioned coach is included. Gratuities, hotel pickup and drop-off, and extra drinks at lunch are not included. Any specific dietary requirements should be noted when booking.
