Day one in the American sector, a night in medieval Bayeux, then the British sector and Monet’s gardens at Giverny on the way back to Paris.
Day one is devoted to the American landings of 6 June 1944, from the airborne drop zones to the beaches and the American Cemetery above Omaha Beach.
Day two moves from military history to art. After the German battery at Longues-sur-Mer, the Mulberry harbour and Pegasus Bridge, you finish at Giverny, where Claude Monet painted his water lilies, on the way back to Paris.
A typical programme. As the tour is private, every stop can be changed.
We suggest and book a hotel in Bayeux for you. The guide’s hotel and meals are included in the price; your own room is not.
Monet’s gardens are open only from spring to early November. Outside the season we replace Giverny with Rouen.
Walking shoes and a waterproof jacket; the coast is windy even in summer.
