The experience

Longues-sur-Mer is the best-preserved German battery on the Atlantic Wall, and you'll see how British and French naval vessels silenced those guns on D-Day. The Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches is what made the invasion's logistics possible: British engineers built a deep-water port from prefabricated sections floated across the Channel so supply ships could unload without a harbor. The jeep stops at both, and at Gold Beach where the Green Howards came ashore, before ending at Ryes-Bazenville Commonwealth Cemetery.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for selected hotels in the area. The tour runs four hours, which leaves the rest of your day free if you're staying in Bayeux or the surrounding towns. Your guide is live and speaks either English or French, so you get context and detail at each stop rather than a recording or a silent drive.

Is this one for you?Four hours is short enough to fit around other plans in Bayeux or the coast, but long enough to reach all four D-Day sites without rushing through any of them. The jeep itself, an original Willys, is part of the experience, though it means the ride is open-air and not padded, so dress for the weather.

What exactly is the Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches?

Mulberry Harbour was a prefabricated deep-water port that British engineers designed, built in sections, and towed across the English Channel in pieces after D-Day. It was assembled off Arromanches to unload the trucks, ammunition, fuel and troops that kept the invasion supplied. You'll see the remains of the harbor structure still visible in the water.

Can I visit Longues-sur-Mer, the German gun battery?

Yes. Longues-sur-Mer is the best-preserved German battery on the Atlantic Wall, and the tour stops there so you can see the gun positions and learn how British and French naval gunfire silenced them during the D-Day landings.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, but only from selected hotels in the Bayeux area. Confirm your hotel is on the pickup list when you book.

How long does the tour take?

The tour is four hours, covering Longues-sur-Mer, Mulberry Harbour, Gold Beach and Ryes-Bazenville Cemetery. That leaves you time to explore Bayeux or other parts of Normandy the same day.
