Itinerary

1

Stop 1

After driving about an hour and a half (times depends on your hotel location). During this first stage, I will talk to you about the succession of events which led France to be occupied by the Nazis in 1940. We will then talk about the planning and preparation operations for the landing of June 6, 1944 and finally discuss the exploits of the 225 men of Colonel Rudder's second ranger battalion.

2

Stop 2

We will stop in the heart of Omaha Beach in Saint-Laurent sur mer, where you can take some photos and I will suggest some restaurants so you can have a quick lunch before heading to our next stop.

3

Stop 3

The American cemetery of Colleville sur mer is the most visited site on the landing beaches. We will stop to see, if you wish, a short film which pays tribute to some soldiers who died in combat during the Battle of Normandy. It will also be possible at this location to visit a small commemorative museum. We will then walk with respect among the 9387 tombs of the heroes who died to liberate Europe.

4

Stop 4

At Longues-sur-Mer we can stop to see the casmates which still host the 155 mm cannons forming part of the famous Atlantic Wall installed in Europe by the Nazis from 1942.

5

Stop 5

We will stop at Arromanches les Bains to see the remains of the artificial port installed by the allies in the first days of the assault. Here again I will explain to you the planning and installation of this gigantic site necessary for supplying the Allied army.

6

Stop 6

If you wish, we will return to your hotel along the landing beaches to the eastern sector of the assault and we will thus be able to cross the Benouville bridge renamed Pegasus bridge in honor of a commando of the sixth airborne British division who heroically seized the site on the night of June 5 to 6, 1944. We will then drive back to your hotel.
