The D-Day Beaches Day Trip

Duration: 10 Hours (approximately) Make a Reservation Back to Tours

June 6, 1944 - Operation Overlord began the liberation of Fortress Europe. We are happy to offer you the opportunity of an unforgettable visit to the D-Day beaches in Normandy. This day trip from Paris will take you to Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, the Omaha Beach Memorial Museum and the German Longues-sur-Mer battery. This is a must for all World War II enthusiasts.

Your guide will meet you in front in Place du Quebec, usher you into the comfortable air conditioned/heated minivan (this is not by bike) and head out into the beautiful Normandy countryside. It may be difficult to imagine tens of thousands of soldiers waging war in such a stunning region of France. Be ready to relive that great and terrible day as your guide fills you with both broad overviews and fascinating details.

Tour Highlights

     The American Cemetery

    Technically United States territory, the cemetery is the final resting place for almost 10,000 fallen US soldiers. The grounds are beautifully kept and offer a stunning view over Omaha Beach and the English Channel.

     Omaha Beach

    "Bloody Omaha" extends to the east and west below the American Cemetery. Viewers of Saving Private Ryan have an idea of what happened here.

     Pointe du Hoc

    Today the small peninsula looks like the surface of the moon - hundreds of bombs and shells were dropped here to disable the two long-range guns that could fire on both Omaha and Utah beaches. The US Rangers suffered terrible casualties here.

  • normandy 126
     Longes-sur-Mer Battery

    Four long-range German guns and their bunkers still intact after heavy Allied aerial bombardment. Be sure to also take a walk to the observation bunker that hangs over the cliff above the English Channel.

Our Embassy in Paris

I recently returned from vacationing in Europe and I'm glad I finally have e-mail access so I can let you know how much fun I had on our tours with you. We went on the night tour with Jordan and then to Versailles the next day with Toby. Both Jordan and Toby were great guides and made the bike tours the highlight of my trip! We biked the Loire River Valley the next week...very nice....but not the same as your tours!!! Your shop is a great place for the American tourist to take break and let their guard down. You have done a great job of making your business friendly and comfortable. I referred to your shop as our Embassy in Paris!
