Step into the defining moments of World War II and the medieval grandeur of Normandy on this private two-day journey from Paris. With hotel pickup and a dedicated driver-guide, travelers explore the historic D-Day landing sites before discovering one of France’s most iconic landmarks.

Along the Normandy coast, they visit Arromanches and the remains of the Mulberry Harbor, a remarkable engineering feat that supported the Allied landings. Stops at Longues-sur-Mer’s German artillery battery, Omaha Beach, and Pointe du Hoc reveal the strategic challenges faced on June 6, 1944. At the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, rows of white crosses honor more than 9,000 fallen service members, while the Interpretive Center provides powerful historical context.

The experience continues at Mont Saint-Michel, rising dramatically above tidal sands. A guided visit of the abbey showcases its Romanesque church, Gothic cloisters, and centuries of pilgrimage history before time to wander the village’s narrow streets.
