Suggested American-sector itinerary

Depart from your hotel in Caen. Travel to Pointe du Hoc to discover the dramatic cliff-top battlefield, continue to Omaha Beach and finish at the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. Depending on your interests and the time available, additional stops may be discussed in advance. A full American-sector tour including Utah Beach and Sainte-Mère-Église requires a longer day.

That longer day, with Utah Beach and Sainte-Mère-Église included, is described on ourUtah Beach & Sainte-Mère-Église Private Tourpage.

Omaha Beach

Omaha Beach stretches between Vierville-sur-Mer and Colleville-sur-Mer and was the most heavily defended of the American landing sectors. A page dedicated to it alone is available:Omaha Beach Private Tour.
