The Battlefields of Normandy Tour for groups offers a unique and touching travel experience for history buffs, as you explore the places associated with one of the most important chapters of World War II history.
Perfect for history societies and groups of friends interested in culture and history, on this trip you will travel to Northern France to visit the beaches where the D-Day landings took place in 1944, along with some of the most important battle sites and war memorials in Normandy.
Visiting the Battlefields of Normandy the group will learn about the background and scale of the Normandy Landings at key sites such as Juno, Gold, Sword, Omaha, and Utah Beaches, known by their wartime code names. Over 150,000 Allied troops from Britain, Canada, and the United States landed on the Normandy coast in June 1944, marking the beginning of the end of World War II.
Poignant memorials, museums such as the Juno Beach Centre, Utah Beach Landing Museum, and the Airborne Museum, and cemeteries such as the Normandy American Cemetery, Ranville War Cemetery, and La Cambe German War Cemetery serve as a powerful reminder of the scale of the conflict and honour the memory of those who lost their lives.
This itinerary is flexible and can be adapted to suit your group’s needs. Our travel team will be able to organise additional visits or combine the tour with Paris if required. Contact our JWT experts for more information or to tailor this Normandy Tour for groups.
