Normandy, D-Day Tours For Groups
Normandy D-Day Tours for Groups from Paris
Discover the Normandy D-Day Landing Beaches on a private excursion from Paris designed around your group’s interests, schedule and preferred historical sites.
Unlike many of our fixed group excursions, there is no standard Normandy itinerary. Groups may wish to concentrate on the American sector, visit British or Canadian sites, include particular museums or cemeteries, or follow a programme connected with a specific regiment, family history or military interest.
We therefore prepare each Normandy group programme individually, with private executive coach transport from Paris and an optional specialist D-Day Tour Guide.
Private Coach & Driver from Paris
Executive coach with professional driver for a private Normandy D-Day excursion from Paris.
Based on up to 12 hours of service and 500 km.
Final pricing depends on the exact itinerary, mileage, service duration, departure point and any additional operational requirements.
Specialist D-Day Tour Guide
A specialist guide is recommended for groups wishing to understand the military history and significance of the sites visited.
We can arrange for a licensed Tour Guide to travel with the group from Paris or, depending on the itinerary and availability, for a local Normandy guide to join the coach in Normandy.
American D-Day Sector
For many groups, the American sector forms the basis of a first visit to the Normandy Landing Beaches.
Depending on timings, possible visits can include:
- Omaha Beach
- Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer
- Pointe du Hoc
- Longues-sur-Mer German Battery
- Arromanches and the remains of the Mulberry Harbour
- Relevant museums according to your group’s interests
British & Canadian D-Day Sites
Groups with a particular interest in British or Canadian military history can follow an itinerary concentrating on the eastern landing sectors.
Possible visits may include:
- Juno Beach
- Sword Beach
- Pegasus Bridge
- British or Canadian military cemeteries
Bespoke D-Day Itineraries
Many groups come to Normandy with a specific historical interest, so we do not limit the programme to a fixed list of stops.
We can adapt the itinerary for associations, schools, universities, corporate groups and family-history visits.
If you already have your own programme or specialist Tour Leader, you can also book coach and driver only.
How Much Can We Visit in One Day?
Normandy is a substantial day trip from Paris, and the D-Day sites are spread across a wide area.
We normally work around a 12-hour service and up to 500 km. The number of visits that can comfortably be included depends on their location and the amount of time your group would like to spend at each site.
More extensive programmes, including sites spread across several landing sectors or a number of museum visits, may require a longer service or an overnight stay in Normandy.
Do We Need a Tour Guide?
For groups interested in the historical context of the Normandy landings, we strongly recommend travelling with a specialist guide.
Groups travelling with their own specialist Tour Leader can simply reserve the private coach and driver.
Museum Admissions & Reservations
Museum admissions are not included in the coach price shown above because every Normandy itinerary is different.
Once the programme has been agreed, we can include museum tickets and group reservations in your quotation where required.
Lunch in Normandy
Lunch can be adapted to the timing of your programme.
We can arrange a group restaurant, allow free time for lunch or incorporate a shorter lunch stop when the priority is to maximise sightseeing time.
For larger groups, restaurant reservations should be arranged in advance.
Multi-Day Normandy Programmes
For groups wishing to explore Normandy in greater depth, we can also provide transport and guiding for multi-day programmes.
An overnight stay allows considerably more time for the landing beaches, museums, military cemeteries and different areas without the long return journey to Paris on the same day.
Practical Information
An early departure from Paris is strongly recommended.
The final itinerary is planned according to driving distances, site opening times, museum reservations and the amount of time your group wishes to spend at each location.
Coach access and parking arrangements can vary between individual Normandy sites and will be taken into account when planning the programme.
English-speaking guides are our speciality. Other languages are available on request.
For groups staying outside central Paris, please send us your accommodation address so that we can calculate the appropriate service time and mileage.
