Itinerary
1. Discover Sainte-Mère-Église, a town in Normandy, was one of the first liberated during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. U.S. 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers landed in the area, some unintentionally dropping into the town itself. A famous event involved paratrooper John Steele, whose parachute snagged on the church steeple; he pretended to be dead before escaping German capture. After fierce fighting, the Allies secured the town by morning. Today, Sainte-Mère-Église symbolizes D-Day bravery, with tributes like a parachute on the church and museums honoring the liberation.
2. Head to Omaha Beach and pass through 8 kms of the coast of facing the English Channel. At the shore, you will find a sculpture called Les Braves ‘The Braves’ in honor of the soldiers who fought the war. A nearby museum can be optionally visited.
3. Continue the tour to the Normandy American Cemetery to pay tribute to the fighters of the battle. On 2019, President Macron and President Trump jointly visited the cemetery honor of 75th anniversay of DDay. You can also stop by the visitor center for a detailed exhibition about the war.
4. Your first stop is at Point du Hoc where you will see the numerous bomb craters which remain untouched since the war. Climb thru the various bunkers to witness how the Germans used the cliffs to their advantage and imagine how the Amricans attacked and captured the battery after scaling the cliffs.
