Tours & day trips to the D-Day Beaches
Omaha Beach
Omaha Beach, the historic and most well-known Allied landing point in Normandy on D-Day, is where America suffered some of the heaviest casualties of the war.
When taking in the 3.5-mile bluff-laden beach, the desolation is powerful, and allows the mind to flashback to all the books and movies (Saving Private Ryan) that memorialized June 6, 1944. The only hint of what took place during WWII is a memorial marking the site of the first American military cemetery. (Soldiers buried here were later moved to another cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer.)

Remnants of war
Located just yards away from Omaha Beach is a museum dedicated to the telling of its story: the Mussýe Omaha. Here, collections of original uniforms, weapons, equipment, and vehicles from the battlefield are exhibited. Other interesting displays include details about what daily life was like for a soldier under Nazi occupation and a video presentation featuring Omaha Beach veterans and their war stories.
