If you are a military history enthusiast, then this trip to Normandy will leave you speechless!

A driver familiar with the region and its surroundings will meet you in Caen and explain the day's itinerary. Before boarding a high-end vehicle tailored to elite clientele.

Your private one-day journey will begin with a stop at Omaha Beach. This beach stands out in history as the site of a brutal confrontation between Allied American troops and the Germans during World War II. The Americans landed on this renowned beach, as well as Utah Beach. However, they made the fatal mistake of anchoring too far from the shore, making them easy targets.

Next, your personalized driver will take you to the Pointe du Hoc site, a magnificent cliff that offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscapes and the English Channel. Moreover, this site is a key point, located between Omaha and Utah Beach, allowing the Germans to have an overview of any enemy arrivals from the sea. This was a crucial factor on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

Then, it will be time to visit the Normandy American Cemetery located in Colleville-sur-Mer. This cemetery is a cornerstone in world history, built on European soil for American soldiers who died in combat. While exploring this cemetery, you can pay tribute to those who sacrificed their lives in the name of freedom. Additionally, you can discover the visitor center, which offers various services for a truly immersive experience.Then, it will be time for lunch.

In the second part of the day, you will take a stroll on Utah Beach, renowned as the landing site on D-Day. This beach witnessed numerous aerial and naval bombardments, resulting in the death of brave soldiers. Unfortunately, a true massacre occurred on June 6, 1944. 

Your English-speaking driver will also take you to Sainte-Mère-Église, the area where American and British airborne troops landed to support the American infantry at Utah Beach. You can also visit the Sainte-Mère-Église museum, inaugurated in 1964 and dedicated to the memory of the paratroopers who died on the eve of the June 6, 1944, landing. This museum pays tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Once the tour is over, your private driver will drop you off at the agreed location in Caen, concluding our services.
