We came for Juno Beach. The tour balanced the heavy history with care and dignity. The Norman lunch was a welcome pause. We can't recommend it enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the Normandy D-Day tour?
From Paris, a full day (~13 hours round trip). In-region (cruise port or local hotel), 7-9 hours. Multi-day options with overnight in Bayeux are also available.
Where is the pickup?
Your Paris hotel, or any hotel or cruise port in Normandy (Le Havre, Honfleur, Cherbourg, Caen, Bayeux). Specify at booking and your chauffeur meets you directly.
What is the difference between a Driving Tour and a Guided Tour?
Driving Tour: your chauffeur drives between sites, no commentary. You explore each memorial on your own using on-site signage. Guided Tour: a certified WWII guide accompanies you and tells the stories at every stop.
Can we customise the itinerary?
Yes. Standard sectors are American (Omaha, Utah, Pointe du Hoc), British or Canadian (Gold, Sword, Juno). We can also follow family history if a relative fought in the campaign.
What about Pointe du Hoc renovations?
Pointe du Hoc is partially under renovation through 2027. If access is restricted on the day, the chauffeur substitutes the nearby Longues-sur-Mer battery so the day stays complete.
How many people can join the private tour?
Tours are private and exclusive to your group. We accommodate from 1 to 8 passengers in our Mercedes vans. For larger groups, contact us for a 16-seater coach quote.
