Emilie-Rose TAKOO25 Février 2024La journée de visite guidée était parfaite avec Cécile. Elle s’investit beaucoup, prend le temps de s’adapter et d’expliquer clairement les événements en ajoutant des anecdotes. Les récits sont racontés de manière passionnante et captivante et ils sont également illustrés. La journée était extraordinaire grâce à Cécile qui est une personne fortement agréable dont le travail est formidable !
Christie Anderson23 Février 2024Cécile was an amazing guide! Her in-depth knowledge of the D-day landing was exceptional. She took us to several different historical locations that were very interesting. She also delivered the tour completely English with no issues. Would highly recommend!

FAQs
Do you have a question? Please do not hesitate to ask via the contact form.
Are the sites accessible?
Access to the German batteries and the German cemetery is very difficult for people with reduced mobility. The ground is either covered in stones or mud. Only the American cemetery is accessible.
Are animals permitted?
Pets are prohibited on most sites, even if they are kept on a leash.
Are there any shops nearby?
The sites we will be visiting are isolated. There are no shops nearby. For the "Full Day - D-Day" tour, a lunch break is scheduled in the village of Port-en-Bessin.
Can I bring my children?
I adapt to young children. Think about car seats and baby carriers for toddlers, as the sites can sometimes be impassable for a pushchair.
Is there a special dress code?
We will be visiting military cemeteries, where proper dress is required. We will be walking for up to 30 minutes per site, so comfortable shoes are essential.
Is payment secure?
Payment is 100% secure!
You can pay by card or Paypal. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a message via the contact form.
