Normandy: War-Torn Yet Full of Life
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | In peaceful Normandy, we explore the half-timbered charm of Rouen, reflect on Monet's lily ponds in Giverny, peek in on local artisans, and set up an easel at Honfleur's harbor. We venture into composer Eric Satie's eccentric world and feast on the finest of Normandy cuisine. After pondering sacrifice and celebrating freedom on the D-Day beaches, we hike with pilgrims to the enchanted island abbey of Mont St-Michel. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #normandy

Normandy D-Day Tour
I put this old footage together from several years ago so it's not the best. Normandy is a northern region in France and the location of one of the most famous battles in WWII. There are many locations but this tour consisted of Arromanches, Longues Sur Mer, Normandy American Cemetery and Pointe Du Hoc. This tour was informative, historical and very much emotional. I recommend anyone who can afford or who is abled bodied to tour this area.

Highlights of the Normandy landings, 6th June 1944
The D Day landings on the beaches of Operation Overlord on 6 June 1944 have left such a legacy of fascinating historical sites to visit all along the Normandy coastline that there is never enough time to see everything. However, if you have a day to spare and would like to visit the Normandy Beaches, our guided tour of the highlights of the D Day landings will be ideal. Although there is a lot to see, rest assured we will not rush you from site to site offering only brief, superficial explanations of the significance of each location.

D Day Tours Normandy Three Day Signature Tour
A comprehensive and detailed three-day tour of Operation Overlord
Our three-day tour combines a quality guided tour of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy with a relaxing short holiday. Our friendly personal service, luxury accommodation and delicious home cooked cuisine make this an ideal tour for small parties of up to six people who want to really find out more about what happened in the early hours and days of Operation Overlord.
DAY 1
Pegasus Bridge
The famous bridge across the Orne Canal at Benouville captured by a daring glider assault in the early hours of D-Day. We follow a visit to the bridge by taking coffee at The Café Gondree before visiting the Memorial Pegasus Museum.
The Merville Battery
The silencing of the German battery at Merville in an improvised attack by an ad-hoc force of paratroopers from 9th Battalion, The Parachute Regiment is a story of outstanding courage and leadership.
Ranville Cemetery
The reality of war and conflict should never be forgotten. It is always very humbling to visit a war cemetery where we pay our respects to the young men who lost their lives in war.
DAY 2
Sword Beach
The landing of British 3rd Infantry Division at La Breche in the face of stubborn resistance from Strongpoint 'Cod.'
Hillman Fortress
The British advance on Caen was significantly delayed by this well-disguised and strongly defended underground complex.
Juno Beach
The Canadian landing at Bernieres-sur-Mer. The original sea wall, concrete bunkers, machine gun and mortar emplacements which inflicted heavy casualties on The Queens Own Rifles of Canada as they came ashore still remain.
Gold Beach
Sgt Major Stanley Hollis, D Company, The Green Howards, was the only British & Commonwealth Soldier to win the Victoria Cross on D-Day. Hollis landed with 50th Infantry Division on King Sector of Gold Beach at Ver-sur-Mer.
Arromanches
'The story of the Mulberry harbours must rank among the most remarkable to emerge from the Second World War. In terms of engineering achievement it is surely one of the greatest of all time.'
DAY 3
Omaha Beach
It was at Omaha Beach that the Allies found the strongest German defences on D-Day, where they took their heaviest casualties and where they came closest to defeat.
St Mere Eglise
The strategically important market town stands on the main highway to Cherbourg. It was a key objective for U.S. 82nd Airborne Division. The museum at St Mere Eglise is a corner stone in understanding the role of U.S. Airborne forces during the Battle of Normandy.
Brecourt Manor
Following the success of the T.V. Drama 'Band of Brothers', Brecourt Manor is a popular site to visit. We shall explain what really happened here.
Utah Beach
U.S. 4th Infantry Division landed on Utah Beach. Spearheading U.S. VII Corps drive to isolate the Cotentin peninsula and capture the important port of Cherbourg.
The Pointe du Hoc
Tasked with neutralising the German gun battery at the Point du Hoc, D, E and F companies of the U.S. 2nd Ranger Battalion under the command of Lt. Colonel James Rudder climbed the 100-foot high cliffs of the Pointe to accomplish their mission.
The U.S. National Cemetery and Memorial at Colleville-sur-Mer
'The sight of the brilliant white headstones, laid in immaculate lines and set against the dark greens of the surrounding trees is beautiful, moving and tragic'
Visit Normandy in the 70th anniversary year of the D Day Landings
Normandy is one of France's most popular regions. A visit to the historic beaches and battlefields is a must for reflection and respect for those who gave their lives for our freedom. There are plenty of museums and sites to see if you want to learn more about the D Day Landings, plus a very different invasion - the Norman Conquest in 1066. the Bayeux tapestry is unmissable. Normandy's beautiful half timbered houses, distinctive cuisine, Calvados, lush countryside and grand beaches are guaranteed to delight.
