This Paris and Normandy Invasion Beaches small group tour has been carefully designed by Professor Steve Solosky, author of The Traveling Professor’s Guide to Visiting the Normandy Invasion Beaches. After bringing hundreds of American travelers to Normandy over the past 15 years, we understand what visitors most want to see, what questions they ask, and what helps make the experience meaningful.

Our approach combines historical depth with comfort, clarity, and personal service. Travelers stay five nights in Bayeux, one of the best bases for exploring the D-Day landing beaches, and travel with expert local Normandy guides who help bring the events of June 1944 into focus.

This is a well-paced journey for travelers who want more than a surface-level visit. From Paris to Normandy, the tour is planned to help you understand the places, the stories, and the sacrifices connected to one of the most important chapters in American and Allied history.

This tour gives travelers the opportunity to experience Normandy with time, context, and expert guidance. You will stand on the beaches where Allied forces came ashore, visit villages and bridges connected to the invasion, and walk through memorial sites that still carry the meaning of D-Day today.

The itinerary includes many of the most important places connected to the Normandy landings, including Omaha Beach, Utah Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Sainte-Mère-Église, Pegasus Bridge, the Normandy American Cemetery, and Mont Saint-Michel. With five nights in Bayeux, the tour is paced to allow a deeper appreciation of the region and its history.

The journey also begins with three days in Paris, including Notre Dame, the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, a Seine River cruise, the Arc de Triomphe, and free time to enjoy the city on your own. Together, Paris and Normandy create a meaningful, comfortable, and memorable small group travel experience in France.
