Recommended optional extra tour:

Caen Discovery

Meet your private guide-driver as today you go on a D-Day Tour, dedicated to the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, for the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control. During the tour, you get to see places where the D-Day landings took place, the Invasion and the Battle of Normandy. You visit places such as Omaha Beach, Sainte-Mère-Église, and Pointe du Hoc. You also have time to explore Airborne museum located in Sainte-Mère-Eglise.

Join a private tour of the Mont Saint-Michel, a magical island topped by a gravity-defying medieval monastery in Normandy. Upon arrival at the parking lot together with your guide-driver, you take a shuttle to Mont Saint-Michel as cars are not allowed to go on further. Today you see the iconic Gothic-style Benedictine abbey in honor of the archangel St Michael built between the 11th and 16th centuries and the village that grew up in the shadow of its great walls. Perched on a rocky islet in the midst of vast sandbanks, Mont Saint-Michel is exposed to powerful tides between Normandy and Brittany - the highest spring tides in Continental Europe. The tide comes very quickly with the sea level rising by 15 meters between low and high tide, making Mont Saint-Michel an island.

Embark on an insightful afternoon tour through the Canadian landing sites of D-Day, retracing the steps of the brave soldiers who fought here. Begin at the Juno Beach Centre, a moving tribute to the Canadian forces that played a key role in the invasion.

Continue through the picturesque villages of Bernières, Graye, and Courseulles, each with its own wartime stories. Visit the Beny-sur-Mer Canadian Cemetery to honor those who gave their lives for freedom.

Conclude at the Ardenne Abbey, a site marked by dramatic events during the liberation. This afternoon tour offers a heartfelt tribute to Canada’s vital contributions during World War II.

Schedule: 13h00 - 18h00

Today after breakfast you meet your driver and have a transfer to the tran station.

Upon arrival, your driver meets you and takes you to your centrally located hotel for check-in. The rest of the day is free so you can start exploring the magnificent city center on your own, dine in one of the local restaurants or take a good rest in your comfortable room.

After check-out from the hotel, a private driver will meet you in the lobby and provide a comfortable transfer to the airport for your departure flight. We hope you leave Paris with unforgettable memories and look forward to welcoming you again!
