- WN 60 - The Widerstandsnest 60 (WN60) was a German fortified position of the Atlantic Wall, situated above Omaha Beach, near Colleville-sur-Mer. Constructed to control the beach and prevent Allied landings, it featured bunkers, trenches, and firing positions. On June 6, 1944, it was attacked and neutralized by the 1st Infantry Division, creating a vital exit from the beach for the Allied advance. Today, its visible remains serve as a powerful reminder of the intensity of the D-Day battles and the site’s strategic significance.
- Widerstandsnest 62 - The Widerstandsnest 62 (WN62) was one of the most formidable fortified positions of the Atlantic Wall, overlooking Omaha Beach near Colleville-sur-Mer. On June 6, 1944, its bunkers and firing positions caused significant losses to the American troops landing on the beach. Despite fierce resistance, the position was gradually neutralized throughout the day, facilitating the Allied advance. Today, the remains of WN62 stand as a powerful reminder of the extreme violence of the D-Day battles and the site’s strategic importance.
- Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer - The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, located on a cliff overlooking Omaha Beach, offers a poignant and deeply moving tribute to the fallen soldiers. As visitors walk among the rows of white marble crosses and Stars of David, they will feel a profound sense of gratitude and respect for those who sacrificed their lives for freedom. The guide will share stories about some of the individuals laid to rest here and provide meaningful insight into the historical impact of their sacrifice.
- Charles Shay Indian Memorial - The Charles Shay Indian Memorial is located near Omaha Beach, in Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer. It honors Charles Norman Shay, a Native American medic who landed on D-Day, June 6, 1944, as well as the many Native American soldiers who fought in Normandy. Marked by a granite turtle, the memorial symbolizes courage, remembrance, and the often-overlooked contribution of Indigenous peoples to the liberation of Europe.
- Vierville-sur-Mer - The stela of the first American cemetery at Omaha is located in Vierville-sur-Mer, on Omaha Beach. It marks the site of the first temporary cemetery established immediately after June 6, 1944, to bury the American soldiers who fell during the D-Day landings. The stela commemorates the very first acts of remembrance carried out in the heart of the battlefield.
- Omaha Beach - ONLY FOR THE 6-HOUR OPTION
The remains of the American artificial harbor, known as Mulberry A, are located offshore from Omaha Beach. Installed after June 6, 1944, this temporary harbor enabled the Allies to land troops, vehicles, and vital supplies for the Battle of Normandy. Severely damaged by a storm on June 19, 1944, it was largely abandoned. Today, the concrete caissons still visible at sea bear witness to Allied logistical ingenuity and the scale of the D-Day operation.
- D-Day Omaha Museum - ONLY FOR THE 6-HOUR OPTION
The Musée D-Day Omaha is located in Vierville-sur-Mer, just a short distance from Omaha Beach. It features a rich collection of authentic World War II artifacts, retracing the June 6, 1944 D-Day landings and the Battle of Normandy. This privately run museum offers a clear and accessible insight into the history of D-Day.
- Pointe du Hoc - ONLY FOR THE 6-HOUR OPTION
Pointe du Hoc became a crucial strategic battleground during the Allied landings in Normandy on June 6th, 1944. Located between Utah Beach to the west and Omaha Beach to the east, this promontory was heavily fortified by the Germans (WN 751). Allied aerial reconnaissance revealed the presence of powerful long-range artillery pieces threatening both neighboring beaches. Quickly neutralizing these guns was considered essential to ensure the success of the landings.
