Cruise Terminal Le Havre

The journey to our first stop will mark the beginning of an immersive journey into the heart of D-Day history.

Cimetiere Militaire Allemand de La Cambe

Pointe du Hoc

Perched on top of the steep cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, the story of the D-Day takes on a striking dimension. This strategic headland, located between Utah and Omaha Beach, was home to important German batteries threatening Allied troops. On June 6, 1944, US Army Rangers heroically climbed over 30 metres of cliffs under heavy fire to neutralize the enemy position — an act of bravery that was critical to the success of D-Day. Today, the site remains deeply marked by these events: gaping craters, ripped bunkers and a memorial dedicated to Rangers testify to the sacrifice made. Walking through these places steeped in history, you can feel the human and strategic significance of this extraordinary mission.

Omaha Beach

Among the highlights of this tour is Omaha Beach, infamously known as “Bloody Omaha”. This emblematic D-Day site was the scene of some of the heaviest fighting of the Second World War. Today, this peaceful beach vividly evokes the courage and sacrifice of Allied soldiers engaged in one of the most decisive military operations in history. Visitors will be able to walk around, take a moment to reflect and pay tribute to those who fought there.

Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

Our next stop on this memory trail is the Colleville-sur-Mer American Cemetery. Nestled in a peaceful setting overlooking the sea, this place of reflection hosts more than 9,000 American soldiers who fell during the Normandy landings. Walking through the ordered rows of white crosses and Stars of David, one becomes fully aware of the magnitude of the sacrifice made for freedom. Each stone embodies an interrupted life, a broken destiny in the hope of a better world. Take the time to stop at the Memorial Chapel, a sober and moving tribute to these fallen heroes. The impeccable maintenance of the site and the serenity of the place make it a space for reflection, gratitude and memory.
