D-Day Beaches (Plages du Debarquement de la Bataille de Normandie), France There is a substantial walk and historical talk at each spot along the coast, including a respectful visit of the American Cemetery and visitor center. 30 minutes
Sainte-Mere-Eglise, Sainte-Mere-Eglise, France 14,000 parachutists were dropped before dawn on the Cherbourg peninsula. One unit accidentally landed in the village square of Sainte-Mère-Église, with one airman famously left dangling from the church steeple. The story of his survival, plus the liberation of the town, starts the touring day. 30 minutes
Utah Beach, Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, France Utah Beach was the first beach where Allies landed on the morning of June 6.. The coast was an imperative beachhead in the Cotentin region so as to capture Cherbourg and its deep water port.
23,000 American soldiers at Utah over many days. 30 minutes
Omaha Beach, Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, France "Bloody Omaha" was a crucial link between Utah Beach and the British invasion sector. Mis-timed landings, foundered tanks and lack of focused artillery support delayed the taking of the crucial 8 kilometers, mean to be taken by 7 a.m., to well into the evening. 30 minutes
Pointe Du Hoc Memorial, Saint Pierre du Mont, France Visting the stunning cliff where Army Rangers climbed upward, straight into German gunfire is a spell-binding part of the story of D Day. The heroic men had no idea the guns had been moved and concentrated right on their sector. 30 minutes
Arromanches-les-Bains, Arromanches-les-Bains, France The modest fishing and resort town of Arromanches was a key toehold for the Allies on June 6. Remnants of so-called “Mulberrys” remain off shore, where the rough seas of the bay were tamed enough to keep ships anchored and maintain a supply chain for the troops. 30 minutes
Colleville-sur-Mer, Colleville-sur-Mer, France This bluff overlooking the English Channel and Omaha Beach is the site of the American Cemetery and visitor center. More than 9,000 servicemen Lost their lives securing the beaches.

The beauty of the cemetery and beaches.. They were so well maintained. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about WW2 and D-day.

What can I say? We booked the tour, received the email confirmation #CMM635V45, and the next day we got an email saying the tour was sold out and they cancelled our booking. Needless to say, they were not helpful at all in trying to rebook us, so we were fortunate enough to be able to book a similar excursion through Viator instead. I would definitely think twice before booking with VisitParis.com, as their website indicates availability but they apparently don’t honor their bookings!!

We took the tour of the Normandy along with mount saint michael. They arranged the transportation and the hotel for us. The hotel was excellent and both of the tours. The guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. These tours were the highlight s of our trip. We highly recommend them!
