Overview

  • Discover the Normandy landing beaches with our WWII expert. Rodolphe Rutman, who will accompany you, brings to life the events of the battle of Normandy, using his knowledge of the subject acquired over more than 30 years of private research. He has been connected to the events of June 6 1944, since he was involved in the 50th anniversary of D-Day, in 1994. That year, he assisted a group of 41 American veteran paratroopers who came to perform a commemorative jump near Sainte-mère-église. Afterwards, Rodolphe became a filmmaker specialising in history. He has directed 4 TV documentary films about D-Day which were broadcast internationally. This enabled him to interview more than 200 people who witnessed the events of summer 1944, including 13 American veterans who landed on Omaha Beach. Today, he lives in Normandy and likes to share his passion for this subject by leading visits to memorial sites. So be ready for an immersive and unforgettable exploration of the 1944 Battle of Normandy.
