FAQ
Can I visit the D-Day beaches from Paris in one day?
It's possible, but it's a long day, with about 3 hours on the road each way. To see several sites without rushing, plan a night in Bayeux or Caen.
Which sites are best for a first visit?
Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, Pointe du Hoc and Arromanches work well together in one day. Check opening times before you leave.
Is the driver a tour guide?
No. The driver provides transport and waits for you, but doesn't replace a licensed guide. You can book a guide separately and fit them into your route.
Does the driver wait during visits?
Yes. Set the expected duration of each stop, and the waiting is included in the price shown.
