Small Group D-Day Landing Beaches Tour from Paris

The D-Day invasion of Normandy by the Allied forces played an essential role in World War II--this tour teaches you the history and lets you reflect on its impact on all our lives, visiting the iconic sites of the Normandy D-Day Landings in the company of a driver-guide. On 6 June 1944, also known as D-Day, the Allies opened up a new front against the troops of Germany's Third Reich. It was the largest military operation in history, which marked the start of the Battle of Normandy and would eventually lead to the end of the Second World War. More than 150,000 soldiers from America, Britain, Canada, and many other different nations landed by air and sea on a number of beaches along the Normandy coastline (Utah, Omaha, Juno, etc.) as well as at the Pointe du Hoc.
