Itinerary
Your first stop is Pointe du Hoc, the clifftop battery where U.S. Army Rangers scaled 30-meter cliffs under fire on the morning of June 6th. The craters, bunkers, and gun emplacements are still there, exactly as they were left in 1944. Your driver will share the story of the Rangers, one of the most extraordinary acts of bravery of the entire war.
From there, you drive along the coastline to Omaha Beach 8 kilometers of open sand that saw the bloodiest fighting of D-Day. Walk the beach at your own pace. Take the time you need.
The tour continues to the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, where 9,387 white marble crosses and Stars of David overlook the beach below. The visitor center tells the full story of the landings through maps, personal accounts, and photographs. Few experiences in Europe carry this kind of emotional weight.
