Pass bySainte-Mere-Eglise
Place that holds a special place in history as one of the first towns liberated during D-Day in World War II. Known for its iconic church, visitors are captivated by the story of paratrooper John Steele, whose parachute became entangled on the church steeple during the Allied invasion.
Stop atOmaha Beach
One of the most poignant stops on this tour is Omaha Beach, infamously known as "Bloody Omaha." It was one of the main landing points during the D-Day invasion of Normandy in World War II and saw some of the most intense fighting of the campaign. Today, it serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and sacrifices made by Allied forces during one of the most significant military operations in history. Visitors will have the opportunity to walk along the beach, reflect on the events that took place there, and pay their respects. At this point during the day we will distribute packed lunches. Our team has personally prepared a homemade baguette lunch for you, alongside which you will receive water and dessert.

Walking among the perfectly aligned rows of white crosses and Stars of David, the magnitude of the sacrifice made by the Allies becomes apparent. Each marker represents a life cut short in the pursuit of freedom, a reminder of the profound impact of war. Take a moment of reflection at the Memorial Chapel, a solemn tribute to the fallen. Here, you can pay your respects, offering gratitude for the bravery and selflessness displayed by these remarkable individuals. The meticulously maintained grounds and the tranquil atmosphere create a space for contemplation and remembrance.

Stop atPointe du Hoc
At the rugged cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, visitors are immediately transported to a pivotal moment during the D-Day landings of World War II. This prominent headland situated between Utah and Omaha Beach was a strategic German defense post, with fortified positions, including artillery batteries that threatened Allied forces. On June 6, 1944, U.S. Army Rangers bravely scaled these 100-foot cliffs under intense enemy fire to neutralize the position, a feat of courage that played a crucial role in the success of the Normandy invasion. Today, the site stands as a testament to their bravery, with bomb craters, destroyed bunkers, and a monument honoring the Rangers' sacrifices. As you walk among the ruins, the weight of history is palpable, offering a deep and humbling reflection on the monumental events that took place here.
