What to expect

Your guide walks you through the June 1944 landings and the brutal months that followed, using visual aids and salvaged objects to anchor the story to specific locations. Expect to spend considerable time on foot across open fields and beach terrain, visiting key positions where American units fought. The itinerary traces the arc from amphibious assault through the gruelling hedge-row phase into the broader advance eastward. The guide draws on personal research and accumulated knowledge rather than scripted recitation, so the experience feels conversational and responsive to your interests.

Good to know

Entrance fees to any museums or memorials are not included. Bring water and sun protection; there is limited shade on the beaches. Moderate fitness required for walking across uneven ground. Car seats and prams are available on request. Meals and drinks are your own expense.
