Our 61 seat executive class coach is nearly in France after the long crossing from Portsmouth to Caen, following the long journey all the way from Aberdeen in Scotland! With a crew change south of London, the same group we have proudly carried for a number of years will, in just a few hours, arrive at their hotel ready to begin a fascinating 5 day tour of Normandy.
Normandy is one of the most historically important regions connected to World War II and the D-Day Landings of 6th June 1944, when Allied forces launched the largest seaborne invasion in history to begin the liberation of Western Europe from N**i occupation.
Over the coming days the group will visit many iconic locations including:
β’ Omaha Beach β one of the most fiercely contested landing beaches where American troops faced extremely heavy resistance.
β’ Utah Beach β another American landing sector where troops successfully pushed inland despite difficult conditions.
β’ Gold Beach β where British forces landed and advanced towards Bayeux and Arromanches.
β’ Juno Beach β the Canadian landing beach where brave troops fought through strong German defences.
β’ Sword Beach β the easternmost landing area where British forces aimed to secure Caen.
β’ Pointe du Hoc β the dramatic cliff-top assault carried out by the US Rangers to destroy German gun positions.
β’ Normandy American Cemetery β overlooking Omaha Beach and the final resting place of thousands of American servicemen who lost their lives during the battle.
β’ Arromanches β famous for the Mulberry Harbour, an incredible temporary harbour engineered by the Allies to supply troops and vehicles after the landings.
β’ Caen Memorial β one of Europeβs most important museums dedicated to World War II, the Battle of Normandy and peace.
A truly moving and educational journey through one of Europeβs most significant historical regions.
