dday tour cherbourg d-day omaha normandy mt st michael paris

° Private full day tour from St-Malo with minivan + english-speaking guide/driver, from 400 euros:
Stop at "Caen War Memorial" situated on a place which suffered heavily from the bombings and war misery. Inaugurated on 6th June 1988, built on 3 levels, it uses a lot of audio-visual techniques to set the Battle of Normandy into the context of WWII. You will see a not to miss movie, which vividly recounts D-day as simultaneously experienced by both the Allies an the Germans.
Arromanches: a litlle bath station with its floating prefabricated port built in 1943 in England. Imagined by Churchill for helping the Allied, it is the most incredible technical prowess of WWII.
Longues-sur-Mer: an impressive and rare example of the German defense with its pillboxes and heavy guns still here.
The US cimetery and its 9387 burials overlooking Omaha beach where much of the fighting took place.
Pointe du Hoc, a steep cliff dominating the Ocean. Heavy fighting took place here, and the grounds remains emphatically pockmarked with bomb craters.
Other places can be visited on request: from Ste-Mere-Eglise, Utah beach, Bayeux (and its famous 11th tapestry), Pegasus Bridge (first french bridge to be liberated),...
