Highlights
This intensive full-day tour combines two of Normandy's most significant sites spanning a millennium of history. Begin early with a journey to the D-Day landing beach, focusing on the American sector where Operation Overlord unfolded on June 6, 1944. Visit the Overlord Museum chronicling the invasion planning and military equipment, pay respects at the American Cemetery where 9,388 white marble crosses and Stars of David mark the graves of fallen soldiers and stand on Omaha Beach itself where the 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions faced the war's bloodiest landing. After lunch at the coast, continue to Mont Saint-Michel, the medieval abbey rising from its tidal island where Benedictine monks have maintained a spiritual presence since the 8th century. Arrive at the mount in late afternoon to witness the abbey's Gothic spire catching the sunset light across the bay. This comprehensive tour connects the sacrifice of the Greatest Generation with France's medieval architectural triumph.

Itinerary
Overlord Museum visit, located just a few hundred meters from the Normandy American Cemetery, showcases an impressive collection of authentic World War II artefacts, including tanks, weapons, military vehicles and more. This immersive museum experience offers a powerful, personal insight into the events of D‑Day.
Arrival at the Normandy American Cemetery & Visitor Center in Colleville‑sur‑Mer, overlooking Omaha Beach. Here you will see the graves of 9,387 U.S. soldiers, the Walls of the Missing with over 1,500 names, and the iconic memorial with the statue “The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves".
Arrival at the Monument Signal on Omaha Beach, where you’ll learn about the immense sacrifice of the 34,000 men who landed here on D‑Day. Walk on the very sands where these troops came ashore and hear about the extraordinary courage and hardships they faced in securing this crucial beachhead.
Travel to UNESCO-listed Mont Saint-Michel, the magical medieval island fortress rising dramatically from the sea. Follow your guide through its enchanting cobbled streets to the awe-inspiring Benedictine Abbey and discover the story of its patron saint — protector of soldiers.

The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
