Overview

This is the bucket list D-Day shore excursion from Bayeux — a fully private tour covering the complete American story of June 6, 1944, including Sainte-Mère-Église, where Band of Brothers paratroopers landed before dawn on D-Day.

At Pointe du Hoc, as seen in Saving Private Ryan, you walk among the original craters and bunkers where U.S. Army Rangers scaled the cliffs under fire. At Omaha Beach, your guide narrates every sector of the landing. At the Normandy American Cemetery, 9,387 white marble crosses face the English Channel — one of the most moving sights in all of France.

Sainte-Mere-Eglise

Discover Sainte-Mère-Église, a town in Normandy, was one of the first liberated during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. U.S. 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers landed in the area, some unintentionally dropping into the town itself.A famous event involved paratrooper John Steele, whose parachute snagged on the church steeple; he pretended to be dead before escaping German capture. After fierce fighting, the Allies secured the town by morning.Today, Sainte-Mère-Église symbolizes D-Day bravery, with tributes like a parachute on the church and museums honoring the liberation.
