Private all day guided tour of the D-Day landing beaches, with roundtrip transportation from Paris (1-7)

Embark on a private excursion in a small group (maximum 7 participants) from Paris to the emblematic sites of the Normandy landings, accompanied by a driver-guide-interpreter.
On June 6, 1944, known as "D Day", the Allies opened a new front in Europe against the troops of the 3rd Reich in the Second World War. It was the biggest military operation in history, marking the launch of the Battle of Normandy and leading to the end of the Second World War. More than 150,000 American, British, Canadian and many other nationalities landed by sea and air on various Normandy beaches (Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Juno Beach...), as well as at Pointe du Hoc.
