Itinerary

Your tour begins at your hotel in central Paris

Meet your expert guide and private driver directly at your hotel in central Paris. Settle into your comfortable private van and head northwest through the rolling French countryside toward the Normandy coast.

Explore Utah Beach Museum

Step inside a restored German bunker built on the beach where American troops first landed on June 6, 1944. The Utah Beach Museum traces Operation Overlord through artifacts, aircraft, and personal accounts from D-Day.

Sample Normandy's cider and calvados

After free time for lunch (at your own expense), it’s time to tour a traditional Normandy cider house and learn how the region's orchards are crafted into world-class spirits. Sample hard cider, Calvados, and Pommeau in an authentic rural setting far from the weight of the morning.

Discover the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc

Walk the crater-scarred clifftops where Allied rangers scaled sheer rock under German fire on D-Day. The bunkers and shell craters remain largely untouched, offering a raw and powerful look at what the assault cost.

Stand on the sands of Omaha Beach

This 5-mile stretch of Normandy coast saw the heaviest U.S. casualties of D-Day. Pause at the water's edge to reflect on the thousands of young soldiers who stormed these shores under relentless German fire.

Pay tribute at the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer

Nearly 10,000 American soldiers are buried here in rows of white marble markers on a bluff above Omaha Beach. Your expert guide brings their stories to life, including Medal of Honor recipient Theodore Roosevelt Jr.

Your tour ends at your hotel in central Paris

After a poignant final visit, your private driver heads back to Paris on the scenic highway. You'll arrive in the early evening, dropped off directly at your hotel with stories that will stay with you long after.
