• Pointe du Hoc - After meeting with your driver-guide “Régis,” you will travel to the Normandy beaches in an air-conditioned minivan.

“Pointe du Hoc” features 100-foot-high cliffs between Omaha and Utah beaches, overlooking the English Channel.

In mid-1943, the German TODT organization set up six long-range artillery guns (155mm caliber) housed in concrete bunkers facing the English Channel above the cliff.

“Pointe du Hoc” was one of the many German stronghold positions in Hitler’s project to build a defensive wall along the European coast, known as “The Atlantic Wall,” which consisted of bunkers, gun batteries, and beach obstacles.

On June 6, 1944, at 07:10 am, 225 US Rangers landed below the cliffs and began scaling them using ropes to storm the gun emplacements and destroy them. Blown-up concrete bunkers, bomb craters, and traces of the battle are still visible today.

• National Guard Monument Memorial - The National Guard Monument is located at WN72, where the 29th National Guard Division broke through German defenses on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The monument and the original bunker it sits atop are maintained by NGEF to honor all National Guardsmen who fought in the European theater.
• Omaha Beach - At the Easy Green sector, two monuments were erected after the war and still stand facing the beach:

Monument “Signal of the Liberation” (photo stop on the spot)

This monument commemorates the landing of the Allied Forces on June 6, 1944, on Omaha Beach and the liberation of Europe. Two frescoes can be seen on either side of the monument, one dedicated to the 1st US Infantry Division and the other to the 116th Regimental Combat Team of the 29th US Infantry Division.

Monument “The Braves” (photo stop on the spot)

A monumental work by sculptor Anilore Banon that pays tribute to the courage of Allied Forces soldiers.

You will have some time to walk along the beach and perhaps collect a bit of sand as a souvenir to bring back home.

• Overlord Museum - Omaha Beach - The Overlord Museum chronicles the period from the Allied landing to the liberation of Paris. The collection was gathered by someone who witnessed the conflict and was involved in the reconstruction of Normandy. Personal items from individual soldiers and armored fighting vehicles from the six armies in Normandy are presented in a series of reconstructions showing over 35 vehicles, tanks, and guns.
• Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer - Your guide will take you to visit the beautifully maintained American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, which overlooks Omaha Beach. The 180-acre site contains 9,387 perfectly aligned white crosses and a memorial chapel, providing a moving scene for visitors to reflect on the cost of war.

While walking along the rows of white grave headstones, your historian guide will share stories of soldiers who fought in the area and were awarded the highest military decorations for gallantry.
