DAY 3: PARIS/NORMANDY – Board your motorcoach and enjoy a half-day morning tour of Paris before heading to Normandy. This tour explores life in the occupied French capital along with the city’s Left and Right banks, learning about various individuals key to the Occupation and the complex narrative of the German and French Gestapo. Hear the accounts of various inhabitants of the city—from Jewish families to members of the WWII Résistance. We’ll scrutinize major and lesser-known sites, which will help tell the story of the city during this era. Finally, we’ll examine the intense lead-up to the eventual liberation by the Allies on August 25th, 1944. Head to Normandy.

DAY 4: NORMANDY – Spend a remarkable day experiencing and learning about one of the most famous days in history: D-Day. The morning starts with a visit to Sainte Mere Eglise. Quaint, quiet Sainte-Mère-Eglise became involved in one of the greatest exploits in military history on the night of 5 to 6 June 1944, as D-Day began. American parachutists were being dropped all around the area and in the village itself. The German battery at nearby Azeville, the Airborne Museum, a major war museum in the village, and the copy of John Steele and his parachute stuck on the church tower act as important reminders of how peace can sometimes hang by just a thread. Continue to the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, a spectacular and emotional setting located on a bluff overlooking both Omaha Beach and the English Channel. You’ll visit Omaha Beach near the coastal village of Colleville-Sur-Mer. Omaha was one of the principal beachheads where the U.S. Army stormed ashore on D-Day (June 6th, 1944).
