Utah Beach
Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, France, 50480Utah was the most successful landing beach of the invasion due to multiple reasons which we’ll discuss on-site. I will tell you more about the famed ideal behind the Atlantic Wall and the Allied preparations to ensure the success of the landings, wave after wave, which would establish the beachheads.

Omaha Beach
Avenue de la Liberation, Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, FranceWe’ll then drive along the coast to Omaha Beach and I’ll explain why the morning assault was so costly but how, overall, the landings were a success. It’s impossible to understand the difficulties of Omaha until you have seen the expanse of open beach and the imposing bluffs. Some free time allows you to reflect on these momentous events.1 hour 10 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location6
Our last stop will be to honor the fallen at the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. This unforgettable scenery truly pays homage to the 9,387 American servicemen and women who stayed behind in burial.
The scenic return route is an ideal opportunity to expand on the Battle of Normandy and the particularities of its famous hedgerow countryside which was such an ordeal for the allied troops.
We will have covered a lot during the day – but it is only really a brief insight into the mighty endeavors of the Americans during this historic event.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location
