POINTE DU HOC; AMERICAN CEMETERY + OMAHA BEACH; ARROMANCHES 360; JUNO BEACH; LUNCH IN A 13TH CENTURY FARMHOUSE
Travel through Normandy as far as the Pointe du Hoc, well-known for the assault of the heroic Rangers. Free time to visit.
Then onto the American Cemetery in Colleville, where 9386 soldiers are resting, for an emotional visit. In 2007 a new VISITOR CENTER was created to commemorate the operations of June 6th 1944. You will also discover the bloody "Omaha Beach" and have time to spend some moments on it before lunch.
Lunch is served at the "Ferme de la Rançonnière" (13th century) in the village of Crépon. In the early afternoon, you will see the ruins of the Arromanches' artificial harbour (built by the Allies in less than 15 days). We suggest you then see the film "The price of Freedom" at the cinema Arromanches 360. This exceptional 20-minute film on nine screens in a circular room combines library shots that have never been released and were taken in June 1944 by war correspondents, with current shots taken in these same places where peace has been restored.
Finally, you continue along the "Coasts of Gold" and arrive at Juno Beach. You will have a guided visit of Juno Beach to explore the remains of the Atlantic Wall before returning to Paris.
