Visit the landing beaches and battlefields that saw action on D-Day
This small-group tour from Paris will take you north to Normandy to visit some of the most important locations of D-Day. Join a guide and retrace the steps of the brave men who stormed Normandy's beaches in June of 1944 with a visit to the Pointe du Hoc, and its 90-feet high cliffs between Omaha and Utah beaches, where 225 Rangers landed. It was one of the strong points of the German fortifications, and your guide will give you some time to soak in the atmosphere of this iconic location. From here, you'll journey toward the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer which overlooks Omaha Beach. You'll be moved by the sight of 9,000 perfectly aligned white crosses. It's a sobering reminder of the lives given to protect freedom. It's also an opportunity to go in search of your own history should you have family who fell in the conflict.
