All American Sidecar Tour

About this tour

Travel through Normandy's World War II landscape aboard a classic sidecar, visiting the pivotal locations where American forces landed on 6 June 1944. This 4 hours 45 minutes tour takes you beyond the coach-crowded sites to quieter routes through the Norman countryside, stopping at WN 60 bunker, Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, and the dramatic cliffs of Pointe du Hoc. You'll navigate at your own rhythm without guide commentary, letting the terrain and historical weight speak for itself.

Highlights

• WN 60 bunker: first German position captured that day
• Omaha Beach walk, unguided reflection
• American Cemetery rows overlooking the coast
• Pointe du Hoc's scarred cliff faces
• Vintage sidecar riding through Norman lanes
• No loudspeaker narration, just you and history

What to expect

You'll be paired in a classic sidecar for the full duration, dressed in provided raincoat, gloves, and helmet. The ride weaves between backroads, stopping at four main sites where you'll get out to walk and absorb each location independently. Expect wind, engine noise, and the physical sensation of leaning into curves—thrilling rather than jarring. The American Cemetery's scale and quietness often hits hardest; Pointe du Hoc's bomb craters and fortifications remain starkly visible. Weather can change quickly, so the raincoat matters.
