An amazing Normandy Experience

lesliemJ1479VY, Oct 2024

Amazing! We enjoyed a 5-day tour of the American sector of the DDay beaches plus the American and British cemeteries. We also toured Giverny, Caen, Bayeux, Honfleur, Mont St. Michel, St. Maire Eglise and Rouen along with a cheese factory and calvados tasting. The trip included pick up at CDG airport and return to a private apartment in Paris. We were out the door each morning at 9am and back by 6pm. Dominique, Yves and Anthony were such great guides. The visuals, historical research and the military strategies were such a bonus. We wanted more than just a sight seeing tour and Perambulations exceeded our expectations. Hope to return to take another tour with this team in Brittany or the Loire Valley.

Book with Anthony!

4 of us took a full day tour with Anthony. He was fantastic!! He was able to answer every question we had regarding the history of D day/WWII and every other historical question we had as well. A very pleasant guy, we all enjoyed our time with him and would recommend him highly.

Dominique not only was knowledgeable about the whole Normandy campaign but also enlightened us with so many small facts that we would not normally learn about during the invasion of Normandy. We will certainly call Dominique on our subsequent visits to Normandy for the other tours she provides.

Itinerary

Omaha Beach

Omaha Beach was part of the invasion area assigned to the U.S. First Army, under Lieutenant General Omar Bradley. The assault sectors at Omaha were code-named (from west to east) Charlie, Dog (consisting of Green, White, and Red sections), Easy (Green and Red sections), and Fox (Green and Red sections).

We will have one stop on Omaha Beach, at either Vierville, St Laurent or Colleville.

2 hours

Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

This World War II cemetery in France contains the graves of nearly 9400 war dead, and nearly 1600 names on the Walls of the Missing.

1 hour

Pointe du Hoc

Pointe du Hoc is a high point between two of the five D-Day landing beaches, Utah and Omaha. It is renowned for the daring assault conducted on 6 June 1944 by the 2nd U.S. Ranger Battalion in an effort to neutralise the German artillery battery there.

1 hour

Arromanches-les-Bains

Arromanches-les-Bains is right at the heart of the D-Day landings beaches in the Gold Beach sector. Today, the village is famous all over the world due to the remains of the famous artificial harbour, named after Winston Churchill, with the code name Mulberry A. On 6 June each year, the town celebrates the D-Day landings. Arromanches is also a seaside resort, nestling between two cliffs with an attractive sandy beach.
