D-Day Beaches Private Tour from Paris
Walk the shores of Normandy and experience the history of the Second World War up close.
This D-Day Beaches private tour from Paris takes you through the most significant sites of the Allied landings, covering Omaha Beach, Longues sur Mer, the Mulberry Harbour, and the American Cemetery at Colleville sur Mer in a single full-day journey.
Departing from Paris, you travel directly to the Normandy coast to visit sites that shaped the outcome of World War II. The tour is designed for a small private group, meaning your pace and priorities guide the experience throughout the day.
The American Cemetery in Colleville sur Mer stands as one of the most moving memorials in Europe, with rows of white crosses marking the resting place of thousands of soldiers who fell during the liberation of France. The scale and silence of the site leave a lasting impression on every visitor.
Longues sur Mer preserves intact German gun batteries, offering a rare opportunity to see wartime fortifications in their original positions. Combined with the atmospheric remains of the Mulberry Harbour, the day builds a layered and honest picture of the Normandy campaign.

Itinerary Overview
Your private tour begins with a pickup in Paris and a comfortable drive northwest toward the Normandy coast. The journey provides context for the day ahead as the landscape gradually shifts toward the historic shoreline.
Arrive at the preserved German artillery installation at Longues sur Mer, where original cannons remain in their concrete casements. This site offers a striking view of the coastline and a tangible sense of the defensive structures the Allied forces faced.
Head to the remains of the prefabricated Mulberry Harbour, constructed by the Allies to facilitate the rapid unloading of troops and supplies after the initial landings. The surviving sections visible from the shore illustrate the scale of the logistical effort behind Operation Overlord.
Spend time on the most heavily contested of the five D-Day landing beaches, where American forces faced intense resistance on June 6, 1944. Walking the beach connects visitors directly with the events commemorated in museums and memorials across Normandy.
Visit the Normandy American Cemetery, which overlooks Omaha Beach and holds the graves of nearly 9,400 American military personnel. The visitor center provides historical background, and the memorial grounds invite quiet reflection.
Following the final site visit, your private vehicle returns you to Paris, completing the full-day round trip. The return journey offers time to reflect on the day and the history encountered at each location.
