NormandyTours
Our signature Beaches of Normandy Tour is an unmissable 6-day journey giving you an opportunity to explore the shores and the sites of Normandy connected to the D-Day landings. We will dive into all five landing beaches of Normandy, with a special focus on the American landing sectors with our journey ending at the stunning medieval monastery on the tidal island of Mont-Saint-Michel. This tour is designed for people who want to combine culture and military history on their vacation in Normandy. See the highlights of the Allied war efforts, as well as the stunning cultural backdrop against which these events played out.
Passengers are greeted at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and transferred by coach to Normandy. After an orientation dinner to get to know your fellow travelers, we spend the next few days exploring the iconic shores of the Normandy Landings. We will focus on the American landing beaches Utah and Omaha, as well as several profound sites where we pay our respects to the heroes who changed history. We also visit the British and Canadian landing beaches, where our fellow Commonwealth troops fought to secure a foothold in Europe. We will explore the vast logistical Allied efforts represented by the remnants of the artificial Mulberry harbors.
In the final segment of the tour, we will follow the breakout of General Patton’s Third Army from Normandy to Brittany via driving through the city of Avranches and crossing the famous Pontaubault bridge that was left intact despite the numerous attacks by the retreating German forces. The tour culminates in a visit to the world-famous island abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel. We conclude our tour with a farewell dinner. The next day, our Passengers are brought to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris for their return flights.

Highly recommend! Hav already recommended to several friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Normandy beaches and Mont Saint Michel with the Beaches of Normandy tour group! Everything met or exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Sofia Pinter was absolutely wonderful. She was efficient, thoughtful, helpful, patient, friendly (always with a smile) and so knowledgeable. I think she was the best guide we’ve ever had. We were sad to say goodbye to her! Christophe, our local guide the first two days was amazingly knowledgeable. His knowledge of the battles of Normandy was encyclopedic! He gave us so much information that I had trouble taking it all in. I would have welcomed a moment or two to ask questions or just to think about what I had heard. He was very good! The hotel Mercure Omaha Beach was excellent. The setting is beautiful, our room was comfortable and the buffet breakfast was perfect. Our dinners were good, though it might have been nice to have had a choice some evenings.The service was good each night and we appreciated having a choice of wine. The logistics of the whole tour were handled perfectly. Everything was on time. The bus was very comfortable and the driver, Csaba, was very good. We felt very fortunate that there were only 15 of us on the tour. Our group got along so well and we enjoyed making new friends. I will have only positive comments to say to anyone I tell about the tour!MORE
This Beaches of Normandy organization is top notch. Everything was well organized. The tour director and driver couldn’t have been better. And our tour guide was first rate. Well done BoN.
