Journey through Normandy's WW2 story on a full-day guided tour from Paris, from the D-Day landing beaches to the American Cemetery. Led by an English-speaking D-Day expert and professional driver, this 12-14 hour day covers Utah Beach, Pointe du Hoc, and Omaha Beach, with stops in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont and Sainte-Mère-Église before ending at the Normandy American Cemetery. Choose semi-private ( meet your guide at a set point in Paris, lunch on your own, minimum 4 guests to run) or private (hotel pickup and drop-off, lunch included, itinerary lightly customizable). Walk the causeways behind Utah Beach, stand among the craters and bunkers at Pointe du Hoc where Rangers scaled the cliffs, and end at Omaha Beach and the cemetery overlooking it.

About Paris
Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.
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.
Top-ranked sights in Paris: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
