We will also go to Utah beach where landed the U.S 4th Division.<\/p>\n<p>During the day we can discuss a lot of subjects about the war (from German occupation to French Resistance) and speak about so many different soldiers\u2019 war stories. After a quick stop at the German Cemetery, we will visit Pointe du Hoc. This German battery attacked by the U.S Rangers will put you right in the atmosphere: the beach, the cliff, the bunkers, the bomb craters&#8230; The best-known Bloody Omaha deserves two stops, one at each end.<\/p>\n<p>Four miles long, no picture or movie has yet made it a justice. A third stop for Omaha is the heart-breaking U.S cemetery, for yet another perspective of the beach from the high ground. Your guide will give you time on your own at the end, to either stay longer in the cemetery or save time for the Visitor Center.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><u>Day 3:<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Shuttle to Mt St Michel with free visit but entrance fees included<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we drive to the Mont St Michel, our excellent audio visual system will give commentary on the sites we pass and also a comprehensive explanation of the history of the Mont just before we arrive.
