Tours of the battlefields of the Normandy LandingsReturn to the Normandy beaches of Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah
Touring the battlefields of Normandy and the Normandy beaches is an incredibly moving experience. Those with personal experience of the D-Day landings will already know which of the Normandy beaches and the British cemeteries you will wish to concentrate on, meaning that an independent trip is far more appropriate and suitable than an impersonal coach tour of the battlefields of Normandy. There are some fantastic personal tour guides in Normandy if you would like a knowledgeable guide, and these are easily arranged from a holiday cottage in Normandy.

If you are planning an independent tour of the Battlefields of the Normandy Landings, the Battles of Normandy Museum in Bayeux is a fantastic starting point, as the museum is beautifully organised and is filled with impartial information and points of interest. No matter which route you take along the Normandy beaches, there is a haunting air of remembrance, gratitude and respect for the bravery and sacrifice seen on the Normandy beaches. Remembrance Day, the 11th November, sees a wide range of services and events around the cemeteries and battlefields of Normandy, increasing the poignancy to even higher levels, but you can visit the many monuments and relics from the 2nd World War battlefields at any time of year. In taking private Normandy accommodation for your return to Normandy, you and your family can enjoy the finest restaurants, best shopping and visit the most beautiful parts of Normandy as well as remembering the events completely at your own pace and in your own way.

On the 6th June 1944, the largest invasion force in history landed on the beaches of Normandy with the onset of Operation Overlord. Although the Normandy Invasions were the turning point of the Second World War, they came at a phenomenal cost. The return to Normandy is an amazing pilgrimage for those who survived the Normandy Landings. And for anyone who lost friends or relatives, Normandy is a phenomenally poignant destination.
