• Arromanches-les-Bains - INCLUDED IN OPTIONS: 2-HOUR BRITISH SECTOR – HALF DAY – FULL DAY

Your driver will take you to Arromanches-les-Bains. This beach was the site where, during the Battle of Normandy, right after D-Day on June 6th, 1944, the Allies set up Mulberry B, a temporary artificial harbor to facilitate the landing of heavy equipment without waiting for the capture of deep-water ports like Le Havre or Cherbourg (Cherbourg-en-Cotentin since 2016). Although located in the center of the Gold Beach landing zone, Arromanches was spared the worst of the D-Day fighting.

To ensure the quick installation and effective operation of the harbor, it was crucial to avoid damaging the beach and preserve the surrounding communication routes.

British troops landed farther east, between Asnelles and Ver-sur-Mer, and liberated Arromanches by land on the evening of June 6th. The harbor became operational on June 14th.

• Longues-sur-Mer - INCLUDED IN OPTIONS 2: HOUR BRITISH SECTOR – HALF DAY – FULL DAY

The Longues-sur-Mer battery is one of the Atlantic Wall’s artillery batteries, located in the coastal commune of Longues-sur-Mer in the Calvados region. The site featured four long-range 150 mm naval guns, each protected by a reinforced concrete casemate, along with various installations for their operation and defense.

Situated in the Allied Normandy landing zone, between Omaha Beach and Gold Beach, the battery faced intense aerial and naval bombardments, preventing it from fully engaging on D-Day. It was captured the next day by British troops.

Listed as a Historic Monument, the battery is remarkably well-preserved. The site is now developed for visitors and has become a popular stop during tours of the D-Day landing sites.

• Port-en-Bessin-Huppain - INCLUDED IN OPTIONS: 2-HOUR AMERICAN SECTOR – HALF DAY – FULL DAY

Liberated on June 8th, 1944 by the 47th Royal Marines Commando during Operation Overlord, Port-en-Bessin became, as early as June 16th, the central hub of a pipeline network of approximately 120 km designed to supply Allied armies with fuel. By the end of August 1944, this system was expanded through Operation PLUTO, which involved laying underwater pipelines between the Isle of Wight and Querqueville near Cherbourg.

• Omaha Beach - INCLUDED IN OPTIONS: 2-HOUR AMERICAN SECTOR – HALF DAY – FULL DAY

Omaha Beach remains one of the most iconic D-Day landing sites, holding undeniable historical significance. Here, you will stand on the very sands where thousands of American soldiers bravely landed amid intense gunfire and artillery bombardment. Your guide will share moving accounts of the challenges the soldiers faced during this fierce battle.

As you walk along the beach, take a moment to pay tribute at the memorials and reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought here.

• Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer - INCLUDED IN OPTIONS: 2-HOUR AMERICAN SECTOR – HALF DAY – FULL DAY

The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, perched on a cliff overlooking Omaha Beach, offers a poignant and deeply moving tribute to the fallen soldiers. As you walk among the rows of white marble crosses and Stars of David, you will be filled with a profound sense of gratitude and respect for those who sacrificed their lives for freedom. Your guide will share stories about some of the individuals laid to rest here and provide meaningful insight into the historical impact of their sacrifice.

During the low season, the cemetery closes early. Any tour starting at 4:00 PM will not be able to include the cemetery visit.

• 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 fiercely 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.

Explore this historic site with fascination, where courage and strategy played a decisive role in the path to liberation.
