Immerse yourself in the history of the Normandy Landings with a local guide on this 2-hour tour of one of the most iconic sites of June 6, 1944: Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer.
Begin your tour in the Easy Red and Fox Green sectors, at the foot of Widerstandsnest 62 (Wn 62), one of the most formidable strongpoints of the Atlantic Wall. Through the moving accounts of American and German soldiers, your live guide will let you relive the first hours of D-Day, focusing on the human experiences of those who fought here.
Explore the remains of the German positions (trenches, bunkers) while learning about the organisation of the German defences and the ferocity of the fighting on this beach, sadly nicknamed “Bloody Omaha.”
The tour continues at the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, an essential memorial site where more than 9,300 soldiers are buried. You will learn about the stories of some of these men, the symbolism of the site, and the importance of the place in the international duty of remembrance.
