Normandy D-Day Beaches Day Trip Itinerary
"A time and a place where the bravery and the selflessness of a few were able to change the course of an entire century". With this speech, made during the 65th anniversary of the Normandy landings, former US President Barack Obama put into words what the events of the 6th June 1944 meant for contemporary world history. At the time indicated, we'll depart from 22 rue Jean Rey in Paris, and travel by road to the very shores where this military operation, one of the most important during World War II, took place.
The first stop will be at Omaha Beach, where you'll have some free time. We'll then go to Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer to visit the American cemetery and memorial, where more than 9000 soldiers of the US armed forces died during the Second World War.
The next stop will be Colleville-sur-Mer, an American Cemetery. Then, you'll have free time to eat lunch in Arromanches. We'll continue our trip by visiting the Longues-sur-Mer battery. The tour will continue to Courselles-sur-Mer and its famous Juno Beach, one of the key sites of the Normandy Landings. After this, you'll have some free time to take pictures.
From these Normandy shores, we'll return to the meeting point in Paris arriving after a total of 14 hours.
