Normandy D-Day Landing from Paris Tour Description

Your full-day trip to Normandy includes:

From Paris to Normandy

Travelers who visit the historical battlefields of Normandy often come away describing the experience as moving, emotional, and deeply memorable. Standing in the midst of the landing beaches is certainly an experience that should not be missed.

You'll meet at the Trocadero in Paris where you'll be welcomed by your expert local guide, before setting off on the scenic journey to Normandy. This carefully-planned itinerary is designed to bring together the most poignant historical sites of Normandy with the opportunity to appreciate the rich traditions that characterize this beautiful part of France.

As you travel through the charming Normandy countryside, it’s hard to imagine that this area once served as the violent stage for the largest amphibious invasion in history. Your expert English-speaking guide will provide plenty of commentary during the drive to help you comprehend the series of events behind this historic place and moment in world history.

Utah Beach

Arriving at the Normandy coast, your first stop is at the exceptional Utah Beach Museum, housed in an original German bunker and built on the very beach where the first American troops landed. This internationally recognized museum offers the opportunity to learn about the complicated planning behind Operation Overlord.

It also tells the touching stories of the ordinary men and women whose actions during those momentous days and weeks shaped the face of Europe as we know it today. The museum offers unparalleled views of Utah Beach and is home to one of the only six remaining B-26 airplanes left in the world.

The D-Day landings took place on June 6, 1944, when Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy. It was the beginning of a 3-month battle that finally brought World War II to an end.

Authentic Food & Drink Experience

Part of gaining a full understanding of the events of D-Day is experiencing the Normandy countryside and the people and traditions that characterize this region that soldiers fought so bravely to reclaim. Along the journey, you'll taste some of the delicious local produce that this now fertile land is famous for.

You'll continue your exploration of Normandy with a typical Norman-style lunch, freshly prepared for us with only the very best seasonal ingredients. You'll enjoy your meal in a charming, local restaurant with a view overlooking the port of Grandcamp Maisy.

Pointe du Hoc

After lunch, you'll travel to Pointe du Hoc. Though the Germans took control of this area during WWII, the Allied forces made it their mission to seize control of these cliffs and take over the coastline. As you stand atop the Pointe du Hoc cliffs overlooking the gorgeous beaches of Normandy, learn about the heroic acts that took place in the same spot. See true artifacts left behind from the war, including bomb craters and bunkers while your guide elaborates on the gritty details surrounding the epic Battle of Normandy.

Omaha Beach

On D-Day, the Allied troops stormed five different beaches. Of these, Omaha Beach was the largest. Now a gorgeous seascape that's difficult to believe was ever marred by warfare, this beach serves as a reminder of the turning point of the war for the Allied troops.

The American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer is located on a bluff that overlooks Omaha Beach. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of President Theodore Roosevelt and a Medal of Honor recipient, is buried here together with the almost 10,000 soldiers who sacrificed their lives. It's a somber but deeply meaningful experience to stand here and pay your respects to the fallen.

You'll have time to look around the cemetery, visit the memorial and wall of the missing, and look down upon Omaha Beach where the Allies faced the stiffest resistance and suffered the most casualties.

Whether you are a history buff, a veteran, or are simply interested in the significant events that happened here, this comprehensive Normandy day trip from Paris is a perfect way to look back on this pivotal moment in world history. The tour ends back at the original meeting point in Place du Général Kœnigy.
