About this tour
Travel from Paris to Normandy's D-Day landing sites in a private vehicle with an English-speaking driver who shares local insight throughout the 12-hour journey. Visit key locations including Sainte-Mère-Église, Utah Beach, Pointe du Hoc's scarred cliffs, Omaha Beach, and the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, finishing at Arromanches-les-Bains where Mulberry Harbor remnants remain visible offshore. You'll decide which sites matter most given the distance involved; your driver acts as an informal guide but cannot enter museums themselves.
Highlights
- Sainte-Mère-Église airborne museum and first-liberated town
- Walk Utah Beach where American troops landed
- Pointe du Hoc's bullet-scarred clifftop fortifications
- American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer

What to expect
You'll spend the morning and afternoon driving through Normandy's rolling countryside, stopping at beaches and hilltops where the 1944 landings unfolded. The driver provides historical context at each location but won't accompany you into museums or paid attractions—that's time you spend alone or with a licensed guide if you've arranged one separately. Expect to walk uneven terrain, climb steps at clifftop sites, and stand outdoors for extended periods. Distance means you won't visit every significant spot in one day, so prioritise with your driver beforehand. The route includes tolls and motorway driving; water and WiFi are provided on board.
Good to know
Confirm opening hours before travel; some attractions may close unexpectedly for holidays or maintenance. Licensed guides aren't included but can be arranged separately. Bring sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing. Meals aren't provided. Infants can use car seats or prams; strollers work at most sites.
