About this activity

We are pleased to propose the visit of two of Normandy's highlights in one day for travelers who cannot spare more time: the D-Day landing beach of Omaha and the American Cemetery, followed by Mont Saint Michel.

Transportation is provided in a comfortable minivan with an expert driver-guide. We guarantee professionalism, patience, and a "people-first" attitude.

Most tour companies or guides are reluctant to do both in one day, but we know that it's indispensable to be flexible and allow visitors with limited time to have that option, which we are delighted to offer.

Understanding that this is a fairly long day but well worth it.

Itinerary

Omaha Beach

one hour

Two thirds of the seaborne troops from the United States on D-Day were launched against a four-mile long beach overlooked by steep bluffs and blocked off at either end by limestone cliffs, the place they call ‘Bloody Omaha.’
Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

one hour

The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France is located in Colleville-sur-Mer, on the site of the temporary American St. Laurent Cemetery, established by the U.S. First Army on June 8, 1944 as the first American cemetery on European soil in World War II. The cemetery site, at the north end of its half mile access road, covers 172.5 acres and contains the graves of 9,387 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. On the Walls of the Missing, in a semicircular garden on the east side of the memorial, are inscribed 1,557 names. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified.
Colleville-sur-Mer

1 h 30 min

From the American Cemetery we will be heading to Mont Saint Michel, our drive will take you through charming Norman villages and scenic country roads before we reach the highway.
Mont-Saint-Michel

3 hours

A magical island topped by a gravity-defying abbey, the Mont-Saint-Michel and its Bay count among France’s most stunning sights. For centuries one of Europe’s major pilgrimage destinations, this holy island is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as is its breathtaking bay.
Bayeux

1 h 30 min

Leaving Mont Saint Michel, we will make our way back to Bayeux or Caen (or your choice of drop off location in that area).
