How Many Days to Spend & What to See on Your Normandy Tour

The Professor suggests a three-day tour of the Normandy Invasion Beaches, following a chronological itinerary:

• Day 1: Begin at Pegasus Bridge, where the invasion commenced. Visit landing sites, cemeteries, bunkers, and museums to immerse yourself in the early moments of D-Day.

• Day 2: Explore where the Allied paratroopers landed on the night of June 5, 1944. Follow their path securing towns and enemy positions. Visit Utah Beach with a private tour of the Utah Beach Museum, including exclusive access to bunkers.

• Day 3: Conclude with the poignant visit to “Easy Red” beach at Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, Point du Hoc, and Vierville Draw — places steeped in history and heroism.
