    Pass byAsnelles

    Gold beach was assaulted by British forces on D-Day. Their objectives were to move west and capture Arromanches and link up with American forces landing at Omaha. Move eastwards to link up with forces landing at Juno Beach and to move inland and capture the medieval town of Bayeux.

    Stop atVestiges du Port de Mulberry

    Arromanches was chosen as the location for Mulberry B Artifical Harbour; better known as port Winston after Churchill. We will show the impressive remnants of this amazing construction project and explain how significant this was in defeating the Germans in Normandy.

    30 minutes (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atLongues-sur-Mer

    This impressive gun battery position is the only position along the Atlantik Wall in this area of France that still has the guns in situ. We will explore the site together and you will learn about how it was built, how it operated and ultimately, how it was silenced.

    20 minutes (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atPointe du Hoc

    One of the famous German gun battery was located at the Pointe Du Hoc in Normandy. Consisting of 6 long range gun positions and many other concrete bunkers, it posed a real threat to Allied shipping on D-Day. As this battery was right between the two American landing beaches, Allied planners had no choice but to knock out this position. Here you will hear the incredible stories of bravery shown by US Army Rangers who had to scale nearly 100 feet of cliffs to destroy the guns.

    45 minutes (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atOmaha Beach

    The US 1st Infantry and 29th Infantry Divisions, as well as elements of the US Army Rangers were tasked with opening up 5 exit points to start the movement inland. When you hear the stories from your guide, you will understand why this beach is known as, "Bloody Omaha". Depending on the tide, you will have the opportunity to walk on the sand and see the beach from the soldiers perspective. From this point of view, the high bluffs that once had machine guns firing down, are very intimidating.

    30 minutes (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atCimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

    The Normandy American Cemetery covers 172 acres and is the final resting place for many thousands of service men and women. You will have sufficient time to explore the visitor center before taking the time to reflect in the cemetery.

    40 minutes (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atBritish Normandy Memorial

    The memorial is located near Ver-sur-Mer which overlooks Gold beach, and contains the names of all 22,442 soldiers that died on D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. You will see a nine-foot-tall sculptures of three charging infantrymen, which weigh over a ton each, created by sculptor David Williams-Ellis.

Very professional and most informative D-Day tour

Athcliath1985, Nov 2024

We had a most enjoyable, educational tour. Rethro is a brilliant guide, he has huge knowledge and enthusiasm, he was really engaging and so patient with all our questions. Everything ran on time and the tour itself was well structured. It felt like we got to see so much and cover so much material.

Great full day excursion

We had an excellent experience with Juliet! She is a native of Normandy and in addition to the history, she was able to provide local perspective on what growing up in this area was like. I highly recommend Bayeux Shuttle.
