Discover the landing sites : Point du Hoc, Colleville s/mer American Cemetery, Omaha Beach, Arromanches and the Mulberry's Bridges before heading to Caen for a last stop to visit the Peace Memorial before returning to Paris...Experience a small group journey through the history of World War II with your driver-guide. You will travel to the Beach of Normandy in an air-conditioned minibus. There, you will stop at "The Pointe du Hoc", 90 feet high cliffs, where 225 Rangers landed on the morning of June 6, 1944. It was one of the strong points of the German fortifications.
This tour will also take you to Colleville sur Mer to visit the American Cemetery, overlooking Omaha Beach, which contains over 9,000 white crosses perfectly aligned on 170 acres. A chapel and memorial add the finishing touches to this moving scene allowing visitors to reflect on the price of war.
You will discover other WWII locations such as Arromanches and the vestiges of the artificial harbor (Mulberry Bridge), Longues-sur-Mer and the German artillery battery, which gave the allied a pounding on the morning of 6th June. It is actually the only coastal battery to have kept its guns, giving an impressive picture of what an Atlantic wall gun emplacement was really like.
During your day in Normandy, you will also visit the Caen Peace Memorial, a place for reflecting on war in general and on what WWII meant, and still means, to the world.
