D-Day Shore excursion with Guide, Lunch & Museum from Le Havre
Overview
This is the most complete D-Day shore excursion from Le Havre and the only one that includes an WWII expert guide, a museum ticket, a freshly made sandwich from a local bakery and two stops most tours never visit.
The Arromanches 360° Cinema opens the day: a 19-minute circular panoramic film combining original 1944 footage with present-day images on nine surrounding screens. No seats. You stand at the center as June 6, 1944 unfolds around you. Nothing prepares you for it.
Longues-sur-Mer follows: the only German coastal gun battery in Normandy where the original 155mm weapons are still in place, still pointing toward the English Channel. No other shared tour from Le Havre includes it.
Then Omaha Beach, the actual sand from Saving Private Ryan. Then the Normandy American Cemetery, where 9,387 white crosses face the sea above the bluffs.
Your expert guide walks you through every stop in English.
Your all on board schedule is our promise to you !
