Normandy D-Day Beaches Day Trip
Normandy D-Day Beaches Day Trip Itinerary
"A time and a place where the bravery and the selflessness of a few was 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 7 am, 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 Arromanches, a place known for the artificial harbour that was installed there. This quay allowed the unloading of 9000 to 22000 tons of material per day during the Battle of Caen. We'll get to know the city and then you'll have free time for lunch. In the afternoon, we'll visit Arromanches 360. Here, we'll see Les 100 jours de Normandie, a short film about the Second World War that won't disappoint you.
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 at 9 pm.
