Join us on a small group excursion (maximum 15 participants) from Paris to the emblematic sites of the Normandy landing, accompanied by a guide-interpreter.
On June 6, 1944, called "D Day", the Allies opened a new front in Europe against the troops of the Third Reich during the Second World War. It was the largest military operation in history and marked the beginning of the Battle of Normandy that would lead to the end of World War II. More than 150,000 American, British and Canadian soldiers and many other nationalities landed by sea and air on different beaches of Normandy (Utah Beach, Omaha Beach...), as well as at Pointe du Hoc.
Departure at 7:00 am from the Pullman Hotel in Paris for a 3-hour trip to the landing beaches.
Begin your day at the heroic Pointe du Hoc, where the bravery of American soldiers during the D-Day landings comes to life. The majestic cliffs offer panoramic views of the English Channel, providing a profound understanding of the strategic significance of this location during the pivotal battle.
Next, venture to the legendary Omaha Beach, one of the historic D-Day landing sites. Walk along the sands where history was made, feel the emotion that still resonates in these hallowed grounds, and gain insight into the sacrifices made for freedom.
The American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer stands as a poignant tribute to the fallen heroes. Experience the solemn tranquility amidst the meticulously aligned graves, a moving testament to human courage and sacrifice.
Following this intense exploration, indulge in a moment of relaxation in the restaurant, where you can savor the delights of Normandy's cuisine while sharing reflections with fellow participants.
