On the sites of 6 June 1944
The D-Day beaches stretch along nearly eighty kilometres of the Normandy coast. In one day, you choose your stops according to what matters to you: Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking the beach; Pointe du Hoc, scaled by the Rangers; Arromanches and the remains of the artificial harbour; Utah Beach and Sainte-Mère-Église, the paratroopers’ village.
British and Canadian visitors often favour Gold, Juno and Sword, Pegasus Bridge or the Commonwealth cemeteries. The programme is built with you before you set off.
- Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery
- Pointe du Hoc and the Longues-sur-Mer battery
- Arromanches and the artificial harbour
- Utah Beach and Sainte-Mère-Église
- Juno, Gold, Sword and Pegasus Bridge
From Saint-Malo, Rennes or Mont-Saint-Michel
The beaches are about two hours’ drive from Saint-Malo and Rennes, and an hour and a half from Mont-Saint-Michel. The day starts early, around eight, to enjoy the sites before the crowds, and ends in the evening at your hotel.
For a gentler pace, the tour can also be spread over two days: Mont-Saint-Michel on the first day, a night in Normandy, then the beaches the next day, with the same driver from start to finish.
In the footsteps of a loved one
Many of our American, British and Canadian clients come in the footsteps of a father, grandfather or uncle. Tell us his unit, the beach where he landed or the cemetery where he rests: we prepare the route in advance so that the day is devoted to him.
A driver, and a guide if you wish
Your driver takes you from one site to the next and waits for you at every stop, but he is not a licensed tour guide. For a fully guided day, we book a D-Day specialist guide, in English or in French, who travels with you.
Comfort for a long day
Four hours of driving there and back feel very different in a prestige saloon: comfortable seats, chilled water on board, stops whenever you wish. For a family or a small group, a Mercedes-Benz van seats up to 7 passengers.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to reach the D-Day beaches from Saint-Malo?
About two hours’ drive to Omaha Beach, the same from Rennes, and an hour and a half from Mont-Saint-Michel.
Can Mont-Saint-Michel and the D-Day beaches be combined?
Yes. It can be done in one very long day; over two days, with a night in Normandy, it is far more enjoyable.
Does the driver give commentary at the sites?
He knows the roads and the places, but he is not a guide. On request, we book a D-Day specialist guide, in English or in French.
How much does a Normandy D-Day private tour cost?
The price depends on the starting point, the duration and the vehicle, and it is set in advance in a free quote. Describe your plans in the form or on WhatsApp.
