Descrição geral Embark on a poignant journey through history on our small group day tour from Bayeux, exploring the hallowed grounds of the D-Day beaches and paying tribute to the bravery of those who fought and sacrificed during World War II. With pick-up at Place du Québec in Bayeux, prepare to step back in time and honor the memory of the Allied forces who landed on the shores of Normandy on June 6, 1944.

Our first stop is the historic town of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, immortalized for its role in the D-Day landings. Here, you'll visit the church where American paratrooper John Steele famously became entangled on the church steeple during the airborne assault.

Continuing our journey, we'll arrive at Omaha and Utah Beaches, two iconic landmarks synonymous with the D-Day invasion. As you stand on the sands of these historic beaches, imagine the harrowing scenes of the past, from the thunderous bombardments to the courageous acts of Allied soldiers storming the shores. Marvel at the peaceful surroundings that now belie the violence of that fateful day.

Next, we'll venture to Pointe-du-Hoc, a dramatic cliffside site that bears witness to the intense fighting of D-Day. Stand in awe of the 30-meter-high cliffs scarred by craters from relentless bombings, and learn about the heroic efforts of the US Rangers who scaled the cliffs to neutralize German artillery.

After a morning of exploration, enjoy lunch at your leisure, savoring the local cuisine of Normandy (lunch not included).

In the afternoon, we'll visit the US Cemetery, a solemn and reverent place that serves as a poignant reminder of the cost of freedom. Pay your respects to the over 9,000 American soldiers laid to rest here, and take a moment of reflection in the serene surroundings of this sacred site. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the chapel, the visitor's center, and the Garden of the Missing, honoring the 1,557 soldiers whose final resting places remain unknown.

As the day draws to a close, we'll return to Bayeux, where you'll be dropped off at Place du Québec, reflecting on the courage and sacrifice of those who fought on the shores of Normandy to secure a better future for generations to come.
