Normandy’s D-Day Landings and Memorials in Detail

This tour begins early in Paris, with a hotel pick-up at 07:30, followed by a roughly 3-hour drive to Normandy. The first stop is the Caen Memorial, regarded as the premier WWII museum in France. Visitors find a well-curated collection of exhibits focused on the causes, events, and consequences of the war, providing context for the subsequent visits.

Next, the trip moves to Arromanches-les-Bains, famed for its Mulberry Harbour. Here, a lunch break allows time to enjoy local seaside scenery and learn about the artificial harbor that played a vital role in the landings. After lunch, visitors watch an impressive 360° circular cinema documentary that covers the Battle of Normandy, emphasizing the Operation Overlord campaign.

Visiting the Normandy American Cemetery and Overlord Museum

The tour includes a poignant visit to the Normandy American Cemetery and Visitor Center, home to 9,387 fallen soldiers’ graves and the Wall of the Missing with the names of 1,557 soldiers. The serene setting offers a chance to reflect on the sacrifices made during D-Day.

Shortly after, the Overlord Museum provides an up-close look at WWII artifacts, including tanks, weapons, military vehicles, and a V-1 missile. The displays give a tangible sense of the battle’s scale and technology, making history feel immediate and personal.

Exploring Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc

The famous Omaha Beach — the most visited D-Day site — is just a 5 to 10-minute drive from the museum. This stretch of coastline remains a powerful reminder of the landings and the intense combat soldiers faced. Visitors appreciate the emotional weight and the preserved landscape.

Following Omaha, the tour heads to Pointe du Hoc, a strategic cliff that provided artillery fire on both Omaha and Utah beaches. The cliff’s prominence and wartime bunkers evoke a sense of the tactical importance and the fierce fighting that occurred there.

Day 1 Accommodation and Rest in Bayeux
