HOME Private Tours WWI et WWII

Battlefield Tours outside of Normandy

If you are a Military history buff coming to France to see the D-Day Landing Beaches why not take a few extra days for a private tour to see the other great Battle Fields here in Western Europe? Not only World War Two, such as the Battle of the Bulge, Operation Nordwind and the Hurtgen Forest, but also the lesser-known sites of World War One. The Argonne Forest, where the American Army and Marines fought against the Germans in 1918. The Somme, where the British and French Armies advanced only six miles in four and a half months in 1916 at a cost of 600,000 casualties. Verdun, where in 1916 the French and German Armies fought a savage battle that lasted for ten months. Vimy, where the Canadian Army captured in only a few hours a strongly fortified ridge that had defied French and British attempts at capture for the previous 2 years. Also, not too far away, Waterloo, where Wellington defeated Napoleon in 1815.
