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!)

    D-DAY BEACHES

    5 stops

    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…

    Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

    The American Cemetery with its 9000 tombs, memorial and museum. We will discover more about the D-Day invasion with a short film. Should you wish, you will also have the possibility of attending the flag-lowering ceremony (please inquire beforehand).

    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!

    2 hours • Admission ticket free
