D-Day Landings in Normandy - Itinerary

DAY 1:
Local departure by coach then to Normandy for a three or four-night stay.

DAY 2: The British Sector (included)
We begin in the British Sector, studying some of the initial landings by the brave 6th Airborne Divison, visiting Pegasus Bridge, heroically taken by Major John Howard and his men – see Café Gondré and the Pegasus Memorial Museum. We then pay our respects at Ranville Commonwealth Cemetery and at Bréville Ridge, an important sector of high ground. Our guide tells the story of the battles for the eastern flank and the battles for Caen. Prior to time for lunch in Ouistreham, we visit the Merville Gun Battery, which was disarmed at great cost by the 9th Battalion of the Parachute Regiment under the brilliant command of Lt. Col. Terence Otway D.S.O. in the early hours of 6 June. It is now a superbly restored Museum. In the afternoon we see the beaches – Sword, Juno, Gold – in the British/Canadian sector, hearing the story of the only Victoria Cross of D-Day, won by CSM Stan Hollis. We conclude the day at Arromanches, with its fine Mulberry Harbour Museum. B

DAY 3: The American Sector (included)
Firstly we visit the huge guns at the Battery at Longues-sur-Mer, taken by the Devonshires on 7 June, then we enter the highly emotive American Sector, visiting the American Cemetery overlooking tragic Omaha Beach, and the beach itself, walking in the footsteps of these brave young men. Time for lunch and a visit to the Airborne Museum in Ste. Mère Église, the scene of some of the tragic landings of the U.S. Paras, the Screaming Eagles and the All-Americans. In the afternoon we see Utah Beach where the U.S. Infantry landed to link with the Paratroopers to secure the Cherbourg peninsula and make a stop at the German Peace Garden Cemetery, where 21,000 fallen from the Normandy Campaign are buried. Before returning to our hotel we also visit the headland of Pointe du Hoc, courageously taken by the American Rangers. B

DAY 4: (5 day break only) Inland Battles (included)
We investigate the ‘inland battles’, including Jerusalem Cemetery and Villers Bocage, covering the story of German tank ace, Michael Wittmann. You’ll also study ‘Operation Epsom’ and Hill 112. In the afternoon, we visit the ‘Falaise Pocket’, walking and driving the ‘Corridor of Death’ – the only escape route for two German armies. Our day ends at the Polish Memorial at Montormel. B
