Explore Omaha and Gold beaches, learn about Operation Overlord, and visit the Longues-sur-Mer battery with an expert guide.
Embark on a comprehensive guided tour of the Omaha and Gold sectors in Normandy, pivotal locations during the D-Day landings of World War II. This tour offers an in-depth look at the preparation and execution of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion that marked a turning point in the war.
Your journey begins with a visit to Arromanches, where you'll discover the ingenious construction of artificial ports, known as Mulberry Harbors. These ports were crucial for the success of the invasion, allowing the Allies to efficiently land troops and supplies on the beaches. Your expert guide will provide fascinating insights into the strategic planning and engineering feats that made this possible.
Next, explore the Longues-sur-Mer battery, a key component of the Atlantic Wall. This formidable defense installation played a significant role in the coastal defenses and remains one of the best-preserved German gun batteries in Normandy. Learn about its construction, operation, and impact on the D-Day landings.
The tour then shifts to Omaha Beach, famously dubbed "Bloody Omaha" due to the severe losses suffered by American troops during the assault. Walk along the sands where history was made and gain a deeper understanding of the factors that contributed to the heavy casualties. Your guide will share personal stories and accounts from the soldiers who fought bravely on this beach.
Throughout the tour, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and engage with your guide, who will also recommend excellent local eateries for lunch (not included). Baby seats and booster seats are available upon request, ensuring a comfortable experience for families.
This tour is available in English, German, and French, catering to a wide range of visitors. Join us for an unforgettable journey through these historic sites, honoring the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought for freedom.
