Normandy D-Day Tour with Mont Saint-Michel Day Trip from Paris

Start your adventure with an early morning departure from Paris by comfortable bus. Get ready for a day filled with history, culture, and stunning landscapes as you travel across the picturesque countryside of Northern France.

Arrive at Omaha Beach, one of the key sites of the D-Day landings. Exploring this historic landmark with your guide, who will bring the events of June 6, 1944, to life. As you walk along the sands, you’ll see commemorative sculptures that pay tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for freedom. The guide will offer an overview of the significance of Omaha Beach and the part it played in the liberation of Europe during World War II.

Pointe du Hoc is a cliff on the coast of Normandy, France, that was a key strategic point during D-Day in World War II. It lies between Omaha and Utah beaches, and was fortified by the Germans with bunkers and heavy artillery.

After a moving experience at Omaha Beach, the journey continues as you head toward Mont Saint-Michel, a place steeped in history and medieval beauty.

Upon arrival at Mont Saint-Michel, you’ll have free time to enjoy lunch and explore the area. We highly recommend dining at La Salicorne restaurant in La Caserne to try their renowned soufflé omelet, a delicious local specialty. This is the perfect moment to relax, take in the unique atmosphere of the island, and prepare for the next part of your visit.

After lunch, immerse yourself in the magic of Mont Saint-Michel as you explore its iconic abbey ( if you choose the option with entrance to the abbey ). A marvel of Gothic architecture and spirituality, this UNESCO World Heritage site has been a place of pilgrimage since the 8th century. Wander through the abbey's stunning halls and chapels, and marvel at the sweeping views of the tidal flats from its terraces. You’ll also have time to stroll the quaint, medieval streets that wind around the abbey, discovering hidden gems and soaking up the timeless charm of this remarkable island.

Arrive back in Paris, concluding your unforgettable day tour to Omaha Beach and Mont Saint-Michel. With memories of historic landmarks, captivating stories, and stunning views, you’ll have had a taste of some of the best that France has to offer.
