Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Sainte-Mere-Eglise, Sainte-Mere-Eglise, Manche, Basse-Normandie, Normandy

On our way towards Sainte Mère Église, we will discuss the events leading up to D-Day. This was the first town to be liberated by the Americans on June 6th, 1944. From the market place, we will talk about the crucial objectives of the airborne forces and you will have some free time to see the historic town center before moving on to Utah Beach.

Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes

Stop At: Major Richard Winters Memorial, Highway D913 Near Sainte-Marie-Du-Mont, 50480 Sainte-Marie-du-Mont France

We will make a short stop at the Easy Company Memorial at Brecourt Manoir and the Winter Leadership monument on our way towards Utah Beach.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Utah Beach, 50480 Sainte-Marie-du-Mont France

Utah was the most successful landing beach of the invasion due to multiple reasons which we’ll discuss on-site. I will tell you more about the famed ideal behind the Atlantic Wall and the Allied preparations to ensure the success of the landings, wave after wave, which would establish the beachheads. We will have some free time before taking a quick lunch break to maximize our time.

Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes

Stop At: Carentan-les-Marais, Carentan-les-Marais, Manche, Basse-Normandie, Normandy

We will take a "snack lunch" break of about 45 minutes at a Boulangerie with a good choice of snacks, salads and sandwiches.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Omaha Beach, Avenue de la Liberation, Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer France

We’ll then drive along the coast to Omaha Beach and I’ll explain why the morning assault was so costly but how, overall, the landings were a success. It’s impossible to understand the difficulties of Omaha until you have seen the expanse of open beach and the imposing bluffs. Some free time allows you to reflect on these momentous events.

Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes

Stop At: Normandy American Cemetery, Rte du Cimetiere Americain, 14710 Colleville-sur-Mer, France

Our last stop will be to honor the fallen at the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. This unforgettable scenery truly pays homage to the 9,387 American servicemen and women who stayed behind in burial.

The scenic return route is an ideal opportunity to expand on the Battle of Normandy and the particularities of its famous hedgerow countryside which was such an ordeal for the allied troops.

We will have covered a lot during the day – but it is only really a brief insight into the mighty endeavors of the Americans during this historic event.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Pointe du Hoc, 14450 Cricqueville-en-Bessin France

After lunch, we head out towards Omaha Sector . . . first stop the Pointe du Hoc. Truly an amazing and unique setting for this overseas American memorial site, with its 100ft high cliffs and the hundreds of bomb and naval shell craters. I will explain the utmost importance of this German long-range coastal artillery site, the Ranger Task Force, its missions on D-Day, and more.

Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes
