Normandy: Medieval History and WWII D-Day Sites

Saturday, June 23, 2018 - 00:00

Discover a piece of the rich history of Normandy by visiting the quaint Norman town of Bayeux and the impressive D-Day sites of World War II. In the morning, travel by bus to Bayeux, home to the nearly 1000 year-old and 70 meter-long tapestry of Bayeux that recounts how William the Conqueror defeated and seized England in 1066. Afterwards, enjoy lunch in a local restaurant and taste some of the regional specialties, such as Norman cider and camembert cheese. The afternoon includes a 4-hour guided tour by bus of various World War II sites and memorials, including the U.S. cemetary in St. Laurent, Omaha Beach, and the Pointe du Hoc. Expect to return to Paris in the evening.
