What makes Private DDay Tour Normandy Beaches from Saint Malo a unique experience ?
We will pick you up in Saint Malo then we will drive to the Normandy Landing Beaches for the beginning of the tour.
Two thirds of the seaborne troops from the United States on D-Day were launched against a four-mile long beach overlooked by steep bluffs and blocked off at either end by limestone cliffs, the place they call ‘Bloody Omaha.’
Stop at the memorial in Saint Laurent s/Mer and drive along the beach to Vierville s/Mer. Stop at the memorial for the National Guard.
This vast 70 hectare site overlooks Omaha beach. It reunites the graves of 9,388 soldiers fallen in combat. The chapel, Memorial and the Walls of the Missing and garden complete the site.
The Visitor Center pays homage to the courage and the skill that were required to conduct Operation Overlord and to ensure Europe’s liberation, together with the ultimate sacrifice made by those who are laid to rest within this site.
On the heights of the cliffs overlooking all the D-Day landings beaches, the Germany gun battery in Longues-sur-Mer played a strategic role in the Allied landings on 6 June 1944. Four casemates – still containing the original guns – and a fire command post, listed as Historic Monuments, make up this major element in the Atlantic Wall.
The seaside resort of Arromanches-les-Bains is inextricably linked with the liberation of western Europe following D-Day. Along with the staggeringly large concrete blocks remaining from the Mulberry Harbour towed over from Britain in June 1944, war museums bring the massive Allied operations here back to life. Today, Arromanches-les-Bains is a popular seaside resort.
At the end of the tour we will drive you back to Saint Malo.
