Ten D-Day Landing Sites in One Day, Starting at Omaha Beach

You visit Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc, and eight more D-Day landing sites across the Omaha and Utah sectors in a single day. A driver-guide walks you through the sequence of the landings and the airborne drops, connecting the geography to the history at each stop. The tour includes all ten stops and transport between them; you handle the moderate walking and the emotional weight of the places themselves.

Step-by-step itinerary

The Experience

The tour leaves Bayeux in the morning and heads straight to Omaha Beach, where the American landings began on June 6, 1944. From there, the itinerary moves through the Omaha sector systematically — American Cemetery of Colleville sits on the bluff overlooking the beach, and Pointe du Hoc, the clifftop position the Rangers scaled, comes next. The pace is deliberate; there's time to stand at each place and absorb what happened there, not just pass through.

After the morning sites, the afternoon shifts inland to follow the airborne drops. Sainte Mère Eglise, where paratroopers landed in the town square, is the anchor point. From there the tour moves through smaller, less-visited locations — the crash site of C-47 #66 at Beuzeville-au-Plain, Marmion's Farm, Brecourt Manor, Angoville-au-Plain church, and Drop Zone D near Carentan. These stops tell the story of the airborne units' scattered landings and their push inland. Your driver-guide narrates the sequence and the tactical context at each location, so the geography and the history connect.

The full day covers significant ground — ten distinct stops across the Omaha and Utah sectors — so expect moderate walking at each site and time in the vehicle between them. Infants can travel in a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available if needed. The route is accessible by public transport if you prefer to arrange your own way, though the tour's fixed itinerary and guided stops make the logistics simpler.
