Full description
Our best-selling tour since 2002. Take the early train from Paris Saint-Lazare to Bayeux, about 2 hours 20 minutes, and your guide meets you on the platform with a van for no more than eight guests.
The day covers Sainte-Mère-Église, Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc and Arromanches, with an hour for lunch on the coast, and ends at the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, timed for the flag ceremony when the schedule allows. You board the 6:40 p.m. train in Bayeux and reach Paris around 8:45 p.m.
$230 per person for the tour, $352 with 2nd-class rail or $445 with 1st. Lunch is not included. The tour runs daily except major holidays and June 6. Weekends run as private tours, because the weekend trains reach Bayeux late.
