The American landing beaches in Normandy are among the most moving and important sites for anyone interested in World War II history. A full-day excursion to these historic locations offers a profound journey into the events of D-Day, June 6, 1944, when Allied forces launched the largest amphibious invasion in history.
The tour begins at Omaha Beach, where American soldiers faced fierce German defences and suffered heavy losses in their fight to gain a foothold on the shore. Standing here, you can truly grasp the immense challenges they endured. From there, you’ll continue to Utah Beach, where American troops achieved a more successful landing, marking the start of the Allied advance into occupied France.
A highlight of the day is Pointe du Hoc, a dramatic cliff-top stronghold seized by U.S. Army Rangers in a daring assault. The site still bears the scars of battle, with bomb craters and bunkers visible across the landscape. Finally, the excursion concludes at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, where nearly 10,000 white crosses and Stars of David overlook the sea, honouring the ultimate sacrifice of those who fought for freedom.
