What to expect
You'll be collected from your Paris accommodation and driven west towards the Normandy coast—roughly two hours each way depending on traffic. Once there, you have freedom to wander the beaches, bunkers, and memorials without a guide steering you. The driver won't follow you around; they'll wait or suggest a rendezvous time. The beaches themselves are open, windswept, and dotted with remnants of the 1944 landings. Bring sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate kit. On the return journey, you'll have time to settle in and watch the Norman countryside roll past.
Good to know
Lunch isn't included, so either pack a picnic or ask your driver for restaurant recommendations beforehand. The beaches can be muddy and exposed; dress accordingly. No professional guide is provided, so read up on sites beforehand if context matters to you. Infant seats are on request.
