What to expect
You'll start early from Place de Quebec before heading out to the beaches themselves. Walking is part of the day—expect to cover the main landing zones and German defensive structures dotted along the coast. Your guide will walk you through what happened on those beaches on 6 June 1944, pointing out the geography that shaped the assault. You'll see memorials and bunkers still standing. The pace suits most fitness levels, and you're back in Bayeux by 12:30pm.
