Day 1: US Airborne & Omaha
The day commences around 8:30am when you will be collected from your accommodation.
Explore the landing grounds and famous actions of the 82nd and 101st Airborne where legends were born in the early hours of 6 June 1944. We head to Sainte-Mère-Église and the famous church, before walking in the footsteps of 'Easy Company' at St Marie-du-Mont and Brecourt Manor, on the road to Carentan. We also reflect on the bravery of the Rangers at Point-du-Hoc, before visiting Omaha Beach and the US Cemetery that overlooks it.
You return to Bayeux around 5:00pm.
Day 2: Mont-St-Michel & St Malo
The day commences around 8:30am when you will be collected from your accommodation.
We head further back in time with a visit to the remarkable Mont Saint-Michel sat atop a tidal island just off the coast. It is something often photographed and wondered about, but you will wonder no more as you spend several hours exploring the island town with origins back to the 8th century. We then head into Brittany and discover the amazing fortified city of St Malo where the infamous 'Corsairs' were based.
You return to Bayeux around 5:00pm.
Day 3: Gold, Juno & Pegasus Bridge
The day commences around 8:30am when you will be collected from your accommodation.
You will also have the opportunity to walk through the famous Longue-sur-Mer German Gun Battery. before heading to the British and Canadian D-Day sector at beaches code-named, Gold and Juno. Hopefully the tides are kind at Arromanches and we can get out and explore the amazing remains of the 'Mulberry Harbours'.
You will then travel to the eastern end of the invasion area, where British paratroops landed by glider to secure the bridge over the Orne River, which they had to 'hold until relieved' - Pegasus Bridge.
We return to Bayeux around 5:00pm for the conclusion of the 3-Day tour.
We can drop you at the train station around 5:00pm for a return to Paris, or your accommodation if you wish to stay on in Bayeux and continue further adventures.
