Normandy WWII D-Day Landing Beaches Private Tour from Paris

Walk the ground where history turned — a private journey through the Normandy D-Day landing beaches.


This Normandy D-Day private tour takes you from Paris to the most significant sites of the June 6, 1944 Allied landings, offering a deeply personal encounter with the battlefields, memorials, and coastal landscapes that defined the liberation of Western Europe.

Departing directly from your Paris hotel, your private guide leads you through a carefully sequenced route covering Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, and the remarkable Mulberry Harbor at Arromanches. Each stop is chosen to build a layered, chronological understanding of Operation Overlord and its human cost.

The tour is designed for travellers who want more than a surface visit. With a private vehicle and a knowledgeable guide, you can ask questions, linger at meaningful spots, and absorb the weight of each location at your own pace.

From the clifftop craters at Pointe du Hoc to the rows of white crosses at the American Cemetery, this day delivers context, emotion, and historical depth in equal measure.

Tour Highlights

Stand on Omaha Beach Sector Dog White and understand the full scale of the Allied assault on one of the bloodiest landing zones of D-Day.

Visit Pointe du Hoc, where US Rangers scaled sheer cliffs under fire to destroy a German gun battery — the craters and bunkers remain intact today.

Pay respects at the Normandy American Cemetery, where over 9,000 soldiers are buried overlooking the beach they fought to take.

Explore the ruins of the Mulberry Harbor at Arromanches, a prefabricated port that allowed the Allies to land over two million troops and four million tonnes of supplies.

See the iconic sculpture Les Braves on Omaha Beach and the Signal monument, two powerful artistic tributes to the soldiers who landed on June 6.

Discover the German gun battery at Longues-sur-Mer, one of the best-preserved coastal artillery positions in Normandy, still housing its original cannons.

Travel in comfort from Paris with private door-to-door service, allowing you to focus entirely on the experience rather than logistics.

Tour Itinerary

1
Hotel Pick-Up in Paris

Your private vehicle collects you directly from your Paris hotel. The drive to Normandy takes approximately two hours, during which your guide provides an introductory briefing on the events of June 6, 1944.

2
Omaha Beach — Monument Signal, Les Braves and Omaha Beach Memorial Museum

You arrive at Omaha Beach Sector Dog White in Vierville-sur-Mer, where you visit the Signal monument and the sculpture Les Braves before exploring the Musee Memorial d'Omaha Beach. The museum documents the planning, execution, and human toll of the landings through artefacts, photographs, and first-hand accounts.

3
Batterie de Longues-sur-Mer

The route continues to the German coastal artillery battery at Longues-sur-Mer, one of the few positions in Normandy where the original guns remain in their reinforced concrete casemates. The adjacent fire-control bunker offers a direct view across the Channel toward the landing zones.

4
Arromanches-les-Bains — Mulberry Harbor and Musee du Debarquement

At Arromanches, the remains of the prefabricated Allied harbor are still visible offshore, a remarkable feat of wartime engineering. The Musee du Debarquement explains how the harbor was constructed, towed across the Channel, and deployed within days of the initial landings.

5
American Cemetery and Omaha Beach Overlook

A visit to the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer provides a moment of quiet reflection above the beach. The memorial garden contains the graves of 9,388 American soldiers, each marked with a white cross or Star of David.

6
Return to Paris

Your private vehicle returns you directly to your Paris hotel, completing a full 13-hour day dedicated to the history and memory of the Normandy landings.
