This private tour is 100% customizable.

Cross the magnificent Norman countryside, green meadows, cow farms, and rolling hills on your way to the D-Day beaches.
Once we’ve arrived on the coast, you begin a private visit with your local guide of Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, “Pointe du Hoc”, Sainte Mère Eglise, and Utah Beach.

Spend the night on the Mont-Saint-Michel, you will see the medieval site by night, and empty of tourists. (according to avaibility, to be sure please book in advance)

Wake up on the Mont-Saint-Michel and admire the 360° view of the surrounding bay. At high tide the Mont becomes an island, completely cut off from the mainland, and at low tide visitors.

Whether you are a couple, a group of friends, or your extended family, you will enjoy a unique visit full of interesting anecdotes. (Your guide is also a pro at explaining art and history to children – families of all ages are welcome!)

    Omaha Beach

    Omaha Beach, also known as “Bloody Omaha,” where more than 1000 young American soldiers gave their lives on June 6, 1944. One of the 5 points of attack, the Allied forces faced numerous obstacles that day: rough seas, obstacles on the beach, and German artillery already in place for a counter-attack…

    MONT-SAINT-MICHEL

    2 stops
  • 6
    Mont-Saint-Michel

    Our first stop will be touring the medieval portion of Mont-Saint-Michel, including the 15th century castle walls and the 13th century abbey. The Mont has welcomed communities of contemplative monks and religious sisters for almost 1000 years – it is still possible today to join with them in their daily prayers (Liturgy of the Hours) inside the Abbey church.

    3 hours • Admission ticket free
  • 7
    Mont-Saint-Michel

    • As we wander through the cobblestone streets of the Mont St-Michel, we will sample traditional Norman cider, Pommeau, or Calvados – local spirits derived from apples – and taste traditional Norman cookies les galettes Normandes. • We will also get to know Emmanuel, a jolly shop owner who loves to crack jokes as he mans his shop on the Grand Rue at the heart of Mont-Saint-Michel. He’ll tell you all about his family’s arrival on the Mount… in 1680!
