أبرز ما فيها

Led by Rodolphe Rutman—a French documentary filmmaker and WWII historian—this British Sector D-Day Discovery Tour offers a powerful, in-depth experience you won't find anywhere else. Rodolphe has written and directed historical documentaries broadcast on France 2, ARTE, and ZDF, including "Big Red Omaha" and "Destins Croisés", both focused on the Normandy landings. His storytelling expertise brings each site to life with rich detail and personal accounts. What truly sets this tour apart is its focus on the British airborne missions that unfolded in the first hours of D-Day. You'll visit Pegasus Bridge, Café Gondrée, the Merville Battery, and the British Normandy Memorial. Our small group sizes ensure a more personal and immersive journey. This is more than a battlefield tour—it's a moving, expert-led narrative honoring courage, sacrifice, and the British role in the liberation of Normandy.

About Caen

Caen, in Normandy, is the city of William the Conqueror, with two great abbeys, a hilltop castle and the D-Day beaches within easy reach.

Caen sits on the Orne in Lower Normandy, and William the Conqueror made it a base in the 11th century, building the castle that still dominates the old centre. He is buried in the Abbaye aux Hommes, and his wife Matilda in the Abbaye aux Dames, two Romanesque abbeys on opposite sides of the centre. Much of the city was destroyed in the Battle of Normandy in 1944 and rebuilt in pale Caen stone.

Top-ranked sights in Caen: Honfleur, Caen Memorial Museum (Mémorial de Caen), St. Catherine’s Church (Eglise Sainte-Catherine).
