Half-Day Tour - American Sites
Pointe du Hoc - Omaha Beach - American Cemetery
Usually running from 1.00pm to 6.00pm or 9.00am to 2.00pm. This tour is ideal for visitors with limited time in Normandy or perhaps with younger children who think a full day tour would be too much.
I will show you around Pointe du Hoc, the cliff-top German gun battery where you can see the many craters and bunkers. You will hear about how the Rangers scaled the cliffs to destroy the dangerous canons. From there we will head to Omaha Beach and the Dog Green sector made famous in Saving Private Ryan. I will explain the landings on DDay and guide you around the memorials. We will then travel to another part of the beach for a second stop, perhaps the bluffs at WN60 overlooking Fox Green beach or maybe the memorials in Saint-Laurent sur Mer on Dog Red and Easy Green. Where we stop will depend on the weather and how much time we have. Finally we will visit the American Cemetery where over 9000 Battle of Normandy victims lay to rest. I will take you to some notable graves and allow you free time to pay your respects.
