Overview

Private Tours are designed to allow you to discover the D-Day sites in optimal conditions. Each circuit is indeed preceded by a "briefing" which will allow us first of all to get to know each other, then to contextualize the events of June 6, 1944. This moment may also be an opportunity for you to express specific requests. For example linked to the story of a member of your family who fought in Normandy.
The "small group" format also allows you to adapt the pace of the visit to your own needs and desires.
If the price of admission to the museums is not included in the price, the circuits are however designed to allow you to take advantage of this opportunity and to devote approximately one hour to the visit of one of these (you benefit from the reduced rate granted to Memory Tracks).

Omaha Beach

After about 25 minutes drive from Bayeux, we will first position ourselves at the top of the cliff, at the eastern end of Omaha Beach. You will then discover an extraordinary view on the 6 kilometers of the beach ... There, a few meters from the first German bunkers, we will evoke the plan of attack of the German defenses by the 1st and 29th Infantry Divisions of the United States on June 6, 1944, at 06:30. After this first step, we will reach the beach, at the foot of another German Fortified Point, the "Wn62, where you will discover that unfortunately nothing went as planned...

Widerstandsnest 62

Once on the beach, a few dozen meters from the infamous "Widerstandnest 62", a formidable German fortified position, we will recall the death trap into which the first waves of American assault fell due, in particular, to the failure of preliminary bombing and the tragedy experienced by the crews of Sherman tanks "Duplex Drive" amphibious. We will also see together how, after several hours of fierce fighting, small, determined groups managed - against all odds - to turn the situation around and bring down the 15 fortified positions protecting the beach.

Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

The third stage of the day is a particularly moving and very symbolic place of American involvement in Europe during the Second World War: the American Military Cemetery of Colleville sur mer, where 9389 fighters killed on the day of the landing or during the "Battle of Normandy" lie today. After discussing together the history of this cemetery - the largest of the two American cemeteries of Normandy - you will have time to gather with some of the burials before taking the path to the "Pointe du Hoc"...

Overlord Museum - Omaha Beach

For the vast majority of our clients – often established outside France – visiting the Normandy battlefields is an almost unique event in their lives. Also, to give them the opportunity to also discover the Museum Collections that evoke the D-Day in Omaha, we allow them the opportunity to devote about an hour to visit one of the five museums in the area presenting the landing operations and exhibiting important Collections of uniforms, equipment, vehicles, and materials. If you wish, you will have the choice between: - Overlord Museum, Colleville-sur-mer; The Big Red One Museum, Colleville-sur-mer; -The Memorial Museum of Omaha beach, in Saint Laurent-sur-mer. The D-Day Omaha Museum, in Vierville-sur-mer. The D-Day Underwater Wrecks Museum, Commes. As a museum visit is optional, the Award of Entry is not included in the tour. But you will benefit from the discounted rate granted to Memory Tracks.

Plage de Vierville-sur-mer

After the meal break, we will then follow the beach of Omaha beach towards the west (along the sectors "Easy Red", "Easy Green", "Dog Red", "Dog White", "Dog Green", and " Charlie"). Before heading for La Pointe du Hoc, we will discuss the tragic fate of the men of "A" Company (116th/29th Inf) who landed just in front of the German fortifications preventing access to the Vierville valley.

Pointe du Hoc

Arriving at Pointe du Hoc, on the remnants of the formidable German artillery battery that threatened Omaha and Utah, you will most likely first be seized by the landscape, still marked 82 years later by the many aerial and naval bombings. But then you will most certainly be shocked by the account of the near-desperate battle that Lieutenant-Colonel Rudder's 225 Rangers had to fight to accomplish their dual mission: to climb to the top of the cliff under enemy fire to destroy the 6 155 mm guns of Pointe du Hoc, but also to hold the perimeter of the battery while waiting for reinforcements from Omaha. Again, the plan did not work as intended and, surrounded by German forces, the Rangers had to fight for two days and two nights before receiving the expected support.

Cimetiere Militaire Allemand de La Cambe

We will then begin our return by taking beautiful little roads of the Normandy countryside, in landscapes that have hardly changed since the D-Day. If you wish, before joining the main roads, we can stop for a moment at the German military cemetery of La Cambe where 21,222 soldiers killed in the Battle of Normandy lie. You will probably be taken by the very special atmosphere of the place, very different from that of the American cemetery of Colleville sur mer that you discovered a few hours before...
