TOUR A-1 : THE AMERICAN SECTOR (Morning Tour)
Visit in just a few hours the most remarkable and moving sites around Omaha Beach. You will have the opportunity during this tour of walking on this famous beach. It was in this sector that the Allies suffered the heaviest casualties of D-Day, earning the beach the nickname of “Bloody Omaha”. As well as this, you will see the impressive site of the German gun battery at Pointe du Hoc, where the Rangers famously scaled the 100-foot cliffs to destroy the battery that should have been in place. You will also experience the American Cemetery where the young soldiers who died for their country and for the freedom of Western Europe are buried at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking the eastern end of Omaha Beach itself.

TOUR B-1 : GOLD BEACH SECTOR (Morning Tour)
Re-live in a few hours the D-Day landing of the british troops on Gold Beach, North East of Bayeux. They were the first british soldiers to land in Normandy on June 6th 1944 at 7.25am. At the end of this crucial day, most of the objectives of those 25 000 soldiers were successfully done, such as the liberation of Arromanches, the connection with the canadian forces landed on Juno to the East, and finally the approach of Bayeux and the precious National Road 13. You will discover in a few kilometer distance various aspects of the Battle of Normandy with the unique and almost intact german gun battery of Longues-sur-Mer, but also one of the most ambitious projects in the military history through the artificial harbour of Arromanches.
