Dive into the heart of the history of the Normandy Landings with a local guide on this 2-hour tour of one of the most iconic places of June 6, 1944: Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer.
Start your journey in the Easy Red and Fox Green sectors, at the foot of Widerstandsnest 62 (Wn 62), one of the most formidable strongholds of the Atlantic Wall. Through the poignant stories of American and German soldiers, your guide will take you back to the early hours of D-Day, focusing on the human experiences of those who fought here.
Explore the remains of the German positions (trenches, bunkers) while discovering the organisation of the German defence and the violence of the fighting on this beach, sadly nicknamed “Bloody Omaha.”
The tour continues in the American Cemetery of Colleville-sur-Mer, a must-see memorial site where more than 9,300 soldiers are buried. You'll discover the stories of some of these men, the symbolism of the site, and the importance of the place in the international duty of remembrance.
