Step into a plush climate-controlled shuttle to begin your journey from Paris to Normandy, through scenic and historic locations. Your local guide will not only assist you with the boarding but will also share critical experiences about the strong history of D-Day that allows you an opportunity to find out about the fortitude of the Allied Forces.
Stop at Utah Beach to grab a bite at the Le Roosevelt Restaurant before visiting the Utah Beach Landing Museum inside a preserved German bunker. Your guide will share bloodcurdling details of how the US Armed Forces stormed the beach and took Utah during WWII. After a brief pause, resume your trip to Omaha Beach's Normandy American Cemetery & Memorial. Watch a short moving documentary on American forces and explore the permanent exhibitions of the visitor center. As you walk through the cemetery say a silent prayer for the troops that fought the Battle of Normandy and witness the wreath-laying ceremony honoring the service and suffering of WWII veterans. You might even be chosen to take part in the event with your squad.
End your day with a reflective stroll on the beach pondering upon life's fragility, before boarding the shuttle with newfound gratitude. On your way back to Paris you'll break your journey at Bosgouet.
