Private Day Tour Omaha beach and Pointe du Hoc
Things to know
About the Activity
Private Tours are designed to allow you to discover the D-Day sites in optimal conditions. Each circuit is indeed preceded by a "briefing" which will allow us first of all to get to know each other, then to contextualize the events of June 6, 1944. This moment may also be an opportunity for you to express specific requests. For example linked to the story of a member of your family who fought in Normandy. The "small group" format also allows you to adapt the pace of the visit to your own needs and desires. If the price of admission to the museums is not included in the price, the circuits are however designed to allow you to take advantage of this opportunity and to devote approximately one hour to the visit of one of these (you benefit from the reduced rate granted to Memory Tracks).7 hours to 9 hours

Locations in the itinerary

To begin our discovery of Omaha beach, we will first position ourselves on the heights which dominate the beach, at its eastern end. You will then benefit from an extraordinary point of view over the 7 kilometers of Omaha and we will then discuss in detail the operations that took place there on June 6, 1944. Then, secondly, we will reach the beach that you can browse freely, at your own pace, a few tens of meters from the German position coded "Wn62", which dominates this beach sector.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Widerstandsnest 62
Moulins, Colleville-sur-Mer, France, 14710The "Widerstandnest 62" is a German fortified position which, on June 6, 1944, resisted the assault of the men of the 116th Infantry Regiment of the United States until the beginning of the afternoon. Unfortunately, it caused many victims among the GIs, many of whom have been resting since then, a few hundred meters away, in the American military cemetery at Colleville.30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free3
Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer
Colleville-sur-Mer, France, 14710The third stage of the day is a very symbolic place of the American commitment in Europe during the Second World War, and is particularly charged with emotions: at your own pace, you will discover the American military cemetery of Colleville sur mer, where 9387 soldiers are buried. killed on D-Day or during the Battle of Normandy.45 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location4
Overlord Museum - Omaha Beach
Lotissement Omaha Center, Colleville-sur-Mer, France, 14710For the vast majority of our customers - often based outside France - visiting the battlefields of Normandy is almost a once-in-a-lifetime event. Also, in order to give them the opportunity to also discover the very interesting museum collections which evoke D-Day in Omaha, we give them the possibility of devoting approximately one hour to the visit of one of the four museums of the sector presenting landing operations and exhibiting important collections of uniforms, equipment, vehicles, and materials. If you wish, you will have the choice between:
- Overlord Museum, in Colleville-sur-mer;
- The "Big Red One" Museum, in Colleville-sur-mer;
- The Omaha Beach Memorial Museum, in Saint Laurent-sur-mer.
- The D-Day Omaha Museum, in Vierville-sur-mer.
As the visit to a museum is therefore optional, the entrance fee is not included in the circuit. But you will benefit from the reduced rate granted to Memory Tracks.1 hour • Admission Ticket Not IncludedView Location5
After the meal break, we will then follow the beach of Omaha beach towards the west (along the sectors "Easy Red", "Easy Green", "Dog Red", "Dog White", "Dog Green", and " Charlie").
Before heading for La Pointe du Hoc, we will discuss the tragic fate of the men of "A" Company (116th/29th Inf) who landed just in front of the German fortifications preventing access to the Vierville valley.40 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location
6
Arrived at Pointe du Hoc, on the remains of the formidable German artillery battery which threatened Omaha and Utah, we will discuss the conquest of the position by the 2nd Ranger Battalion commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel James Earl Rudder, but also the two days and two nights of uninterrupted combat which followed this one.
Nearly 80 years after the end of the fighting, you will most likely be gripped by the landscape, still shaken by the numerous aerial and naval bombardments of D-Day and the weeks that preceded it.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Cimetiere Militaire Allemand de La Cambe
Les Noires Terres, La Cambe, France, 14230We will then begin our return by taking magnificent little roads in the Normandy countryside, in landscapes that have hardly changed since D-Day.
If you wish, before joining the main roads, we can stop for a moment at the German military cemetery of La Cambe where 21,222 soldiers killed during the Battle of Normandy are buried.
You will probably be struck by the very special atmosphere of the place, very different from that of the American cemetery of Colleville sur mer that you will have discovered a few hours earlier.
