D-Day Beaches Private Tour from Paris

Walk the sands of history at Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, Longues sur Mer, and the Mulberry Harbour.


This D-Day Beaches private tour from Paris brings you face to face with the most significant Allied landing sites of the Second World War, covering key landmarks across the Normandy coast in a single, carefully structured day.

Departing from Paris, you travel directly to Normandy, where the landscape itself carries the weight of June 1944. The tour is designed as a private experience, meaning your itinerary moves at your pace with undivided attention from your guide throughout the day.

From the preserved artillery battery at Longues sur Mer to the vast rows of white crosses at the American Cemetery in Colleville sur Mer, each stop offers a distinct perspective on the events and human cost of Operation Overlord.

The Mulberry Harbour remnants at Arromanches provide rare physical evidence of the logistical scale of the invasion, while Omaha Beach allows time for quiet reflection at one of the most historically charged stretches of coastline in the world.

Tour Highlights

Stand on Omaha Beach and take in the geography that shaped one of the most consequential days in modern history.

Visit the American Cemetery at Colleville sur Mer, the final resting place of nearly 9,400 American servicemen.

Explore the remains of the Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches, an extraordinary feat of wartime engineering still visible in the bay.

Discover the Longues sur Mer battery, one of the best-preserved German gun emplacements on the Normandy coast.

Enjoy a fully private tour with a dedicated guide, ensuring a personalised and unhurried experience at every site.

Travel in comfort from Paris and back, with all logistics handled so you can focus entirely on the history.

Itinerary Overview

1
Departure from Paris

Your private tour begins with a pickup in Paris. The drive to Normandy takes approximately two hours, giving your guide time to set the historical context for the day ahead.

2
Longues sur Mer Battery

Arrive at one of the most intact German coastal artillery installations from the Atlantic Wall. The four gun casemates and their original cannons remain largely in place, offering a striking view of the surrounding coastline.

3
Mulberry Harbour, Arromanches

Visit the bay at Arromanches, where sections of the prefabricated Mulberry Harbour still rest in the water. The site illustrates the remarkable Allied effort to create an artificial port to supply troops following the landings.

4
Omaha Beach

Walk along Omaha Beach, the American landing sector that saw the highest casualties on 6 June 1944. The expanse of sand and the bluffs above provide powerful context for understanding the events of that morning.

5
