What to expect
You'll depart Paris early morning in a comfortable minivan and drive roughly two hours northwest to the Normandy coast. Your guide will walk you through each site in sequence, explaining tactical decisions and troop movements with context. Expect to spend 45 minutes to over an hour at whichever locations intrigue you most—whether that's reading personal accounts at the cemetery, studying bunker layouts, or absorbing the scale of Arromanches' logistics. You'll return to Paris by early evening. The pace is yours; there's no rushing through.
Good to know
Lunch is not included, though towns near the beaches have cafés and restaurants. Bring water and comfortable walking shoes; some sites require modest climbing or uneven ground.
