Your guide will recount the daring mission and its lasting impact. If the site remains closed for renovations, your visit will include the Longues-sur-Mer Battery, one of the best-preserved German coastal defenses, with panoramic views across the invasion beaches.

Omaha Beach

Continue your journey to Omaha Beach, one of the most iconic D-Day landing zones. Walk along the sands where American soldiers bravely fought to secure a foothold in Nazi-occupied France, while your guide shares vivid stories of the intense battle that unfolded here.

Normandy American Cemetery

Conclude your half-day tour at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking Omaha Beach. Spanning 170 acres, this peaceful memorial honors more than 9,000 U.S. servicemen who gave their lives for freedom.
