Itinerar

  1. Bayeux Shuttle - Departure point

    5 min

    We like to run on schedule and if you are not at the departure point by the advertised boarding time, we will depart.

    There will be others on board that have arrived as requested and we do not want to impact their experience.

We strongly advise you to arrive early for the tour as no refunds will be considered if you miss the service.

  2. Oprirea 2

    Trecere fără oprire

    Gold beach was assaulted by British forces on D-Day. Their objectives were to move west and capture Arromanches and link up with American forces landing at Omaha. Move eastwards to link up with forces landing at Juno Beach and to move inland and capture the medieval town of Bayeux.

  3. Vestiges du Port de Mulberry

    30 min

    Arromanches was chosen as the location for Mulberry B Artifical Harbour; better known as port Winston after Churchill. We will show the impressive remnants of this amazing construction project and explain how significant this was in defeating the Germans in Normandy.

  4. Longues-sur-Mer

    20 min

    This impressive gun battery position is the only position along the Atlantik Wall in this area of France that still has the guns in situ. We will explore the site together and you will learn about how it was built, how it operated and ultimately, how it was silenced.

  5. Pointe du Hoc

    45 min

    One of the famous German gun battery was located at the Pointe Du Hoc in Normandy. Consisting of 6 long range gun positions and many other concrete bunkers, it posed a real threat to Allied shipping on D-Day. As this battery was right between the two American landing beaches, Allied planners had no choice but to knock out this position. Here you will hear the incredible stories of bravery shown by US Army Rangers who had to scale nearly 100 feet of cliffs to destroy the guns.

  6. Omaha Beach

    30 min

    The US 1st Infantry and 29th Infantry Divisions, as well as elements of the US Army Rangers were tasked with opening up 5 exit points to start the movement inland. When you hear the stories from your guide, you will understand why this beach is known as, "Bloody Omaha".

    Depending on the tide, you will have the opportunity to walk on the sand and see the beach from the soldiers perspective. From this point of view, the high bluffs that once had machine guns firing down, are very intimidating.

  7. Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

    40 min

    The Normandy American Cemetery covers 172 acres and is the final resting place for many thousands of service men and women. You will have sufficient time to explore the visitor center before taking the time to reflect in the cemetery.

  8. British Normandy Memorial

    40 min

    The memorial is located near Ver-sur-Mer which overlooks Gold beach, and contains the names of all 22,442 soldiers that died on D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. You will see a nine-foot-tall sculptures of three charging infantrymen, which weigh over a ton each, created by sculptor David Williams-Ellis.
