The Journey
Omaha Beach
Walk the hallowed sands of Omaha Beach, the most fiercely contested landing site of D-Day. Feel the weight of history as you learn about the extraordinary bravery and sacrifice of the American soldiers who faced overwhelming odds on this shore. Imagine the chaos and courage of that fateful day, and reflect on the profound impact of their actions. This is a visceral and deeply moving experience.

Marvel at a meticulously preserved Higgins boat, a Sherman tank, and a formidable Panzer tank. These artifacts offer a tangible connection to the past, providing a glimpse into the military might and technological innovation that defined this pivotal campaign.
Longues-sur-Mer German Battery
Descend into the depths of a fully intact German Command Bunker at Longues-sur-Mer, part of Rommel's formidable 'Atlantic Wall.' Explore the network of bunkers, still armed with their original 150 mm guns, and gain a unique perspective on the events of D-Day from the Axis perspective. Discover the strategies and challenges faced by the German forces as they defended the Normandy coast.
Local Normandy Restaurant
Indulge in the authentic flavors of Normandy at a charming, family-run restaurant. Savor fresh, local cuisine, from crisp salads and savory omelets to perfectly barbecued meats and delicate crêpes. Experience the region's culinary traditions in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere, a perfect complement to your historical explorations. (Note: Lunch is not included in the tour price.)
Pointe du Hoc
Stand on the edge of the world at Pointe du Hoc, a strategic clifftop position that once housed massive German artillery. Walk among the immense bomb craters, remnants of the intense Allied bombardment, and learn about the heroic climb of the US Ranger Assault Group. Their daring assault, scaling the cliffs with rocket-powered grappling hooks, stands as a testament to human courage and determination.
Normandy American Cemetery
Pay your respects at the Normandy American Cemetery, a solemn and breathtaking tribute to the fallen. Wander among the 9,388 white marble crosses and Stars of David, each marking the final resting place of an American hero. Reflect on their ultimate sacrifice and visit the graves of Medal of Honor recipients and the Niland brothers, whose story inspired 'Saving Private Ryan'. It is a profound experience that connects you to the human cost of war.

Delight your senses with a visit to a traditional Normandy cider orchard. Discover the diverse varieties of apples that thrive in the region and learn about the art of crafting exquisite apple juices, hard ciders, and the renowned Calvados brandy.
