About this tour
A 12–14 hour private tour from Paris linking three pivotal Normandy sites: Mont Saint-Michel's clifftop abbey with its medieval silhouette and seaward views; Omaha Beach, where American forces landed on D-Day; and the American Cemetery, a place of quiet reflection on 6 June 1944. Travel by air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver and audioguided abbey entry included. Groups of four or more get a live guide; smaller parties can arrange one separately.

What to expect
The day centres on three contrasting stops, each demanding time to absorb. Mont Saint-Michel requires a climb through its abbey; budget two hours minimum to appreciate the views and medieval layout. Omaha Beach is open and windswept—bring layers and sturdy shoes. The American Cemetery is contemplative, with rows of headstones and landscaped grounds. Between venues, expect 45–90 minutes of driving. Your driver is knowledgeable; groups of four+ benefit from a guide's deeper narrative. Lunch isn't included, so plan a stop in a village café or bring provisions.
