What you can expect

Begin your journey at the Mémorial de Caen. Continue to the Colleville-sur-Mer Cemetery, where you’ll have time to reflect on the sacrifices made during World War II.

Next, head to Omaha Beach, one of the key landing sites during the D-Day invasion. Walk along the sands and imagine the bravery of the soldiers who fought here. Then, visit Pointe du Hoc, a strategic point captured by the Allies.

Stop for lunch at the “La Marée” restaurant in Grandcamp-Maisy. Enjoy a meal made with fresh, local ingredients. Choose from a selection of starters, mains, and desserts, and pair your meal with a drink of your choice.

After lunch, visit Sainte-Mère-Église, a town made famous by the paratroopers who landed there. Continue to Utah Beach, another important landing site, and learn about the events that took place there.

Finally, visit the church of Angoville-au-Plain, where two medics treated soldiers and civilians during the battle. Return to the Mémorial de Caen, where your tour ends.
