Itinerary Overview
Your private vehicle departs from Paris in the morning, heading northwest toward the Normandy coast. The drive takes approximately two and a half hours, during which your guide provides historical context for the sites ahead.
The tour typically begins at La Pointe du Hoc, where the landscape of craters and bunkers remains largely unchanged since 1944. Your guide explains the mission carried out by the US 2nd Ranger Battalion on the morning of the invasion.
A visit to Omaha Beach is followed by time at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, perched above the shoreline. The rows of white marble markers and the overlook toward the beach make this one of the most moving stops on the itinerary.
Juno Beach honors the contribution of Canadian forces, and the Juno Beach Centre provides additional context through its exhibits. Your guide connects the broader Allied strategy to the specific events that unfolded along this stretch of coastline.
After completing the visits, your private vehicle returns you to Paris. Arrival is expected approximately 12 hours after departure, depending on traffic and time spent at each location.
