Normandy D-Day beaches: full-day trip from Paris

The experience
A full day to Normandy’s D-Day beaches and the American Cemetery, with lunch included.
This full-day coach trip leaves central Paris at 7:00am for the beaches where American troops landed on 6 June 1944: the Utah Beach Museum, Utah Beach itself, the L’Estran memorial site, Pointe du Hoc’s battlefield, and free time at Omaha Beach.
The day closes at the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking the sea — a guided visit followed by free time, and widely reported by past guests as the most affecting stop of the day. A two-course lunch with a glass of Norman cider is included partway through.
It is a genuinely long day — roughly 14 hours door to door — but consistently the best-reviewed way to see Normandy’s D-Day sites from Paris without organising transport independently.
