On June 6, 1944, a 50-mile stretch of Normandy coastline was targeted by the Allied forces for landing. The beaches were Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Explore the beaches, learn about their logistical roles, and remember the sacrifices made by the soldiers during Normandy’s invasion.

Memorials

As part of the D-Day Tours, you’ll visit three distinct memorials: Pointe du Hoc Ranger Memorial, Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, and Caen Peace Memorial, each a solemn yet awe-inspiring tribute, evoking deep gratitude for those who sacrificed for freedom.

Artillery battery & Harbour

The Longues-sur-Mer Battery consists of four pillboxes that still house the original guns used on June 6, 1944; whereas Mulberry Harbours Caissons are floating harbors designed and constructed by the British to protect their supply ships.

Visitor tips

Depending on the experience that you choose, the tour starts at 6:50, 7, or 7:30 am.
A specialty of the tours is cider tastings, which are only available from Monday–Saturday.
Month-wise, the best time to visit Normandy is between April–October (summer season), when the weather is hot and the tourists are many but, so are the reasons to celebrate. The region is alive with village festivals, fairs, and horse racing.
Another idyllic season to visit the region would be Autumn when the trees are colored in beautiful shades of yellow, gold, and orange, tourists are few, and coquilles st jacques (fresh local scallops) are many.
