• Bayeux - The Gentleman Sider (guide/driver) will greet you with his classic sidecar at your chosen pickup location, or at the Bayeux Battle of Normandy Museum parking lot, or at the Bayeux bus station.

He will assist you in gearing up with helmets, gloves, and vintage goggles before ensuring you are comfortably seated.

There will be stops along the journey for breaks and photo opportunities.

• Arromanches-les-Bains - The pilot will guide you to Arromanches-les-Bains.

This beach was the site where, during the Battle of Normandy, right after D-Day on June 6, 1944, the Allies set up Mulberry B, a temporary artificial harbor to facilitate the rapid unloading of heavy equipment and supplies without waiting for the capture of deep-water ports like Le Havre or Cherbourg.

Although Arromanches was central to the Gold Beach landing sector, it was mostly spared from the intense fighting on D-Day.

To ensure the artificial harbor could be installed and operational swiftly, it was crucial to avoid damaging the beach and preserve the surrounding roads and communication routes.

Therefore, British troops landed further east, between Asnelles and Ver-sur-Mer, and liberated Arromanches from inland later on the evening of June 6.

Consequently, Mulberry B Harbor became operational on June 14, 1944.

• Longues-sur-Mer - The Longues-sur-Mer Battery is one of the artillery batteries of the Atlantic Wall, located in the coastal village of Longues-sur-Mer in Normandy.

The site originally featured four long-range 150 mm naval guns, each protected by a reinforced concrete casemate, along with various installations used to operate and defend the battery.

Situated between the Allied landing beaches of Omaha Beach and Gold Beach, the battery held a strategic position within the Normandy invasion area. Before and during D-Day, it was subjected to intense aerial and naval bombardments, which hindered it from fully executing its mission. The position was captured by British forces on June 7, 1944, the day after the landings.

Today, the battery is a protected historic monument and remains remarkably well-preserved. The site has been developed for visitors and is one of the most popular stops on tours of the Normandy D-Day landing sites.

• Port-en-Bessin-Huppain - This stop may be omitted if the guide determines there is insufficient time remaining during the tour.

Liberated on June 8, 1944, by the 47th Royal Marine Commando during Operation Overlord, Port-en-Bessin quickly became a vital logistical hub for the Allied forces.

From June 16, 1944, the town served as the main distribution point for a network of pipelines stretching approximately 120 km (75 miles), designed to supply Allied armies with the fuel needed to continue their advance across France.

In late August 1944, this system was further expanded through Operation PLUTO (Pipeline Under The Ocean), which involved laying undersea fuel pipelines between the Isle of Wight in England and Querqueville, near Cherbourg, ensuring a continuous flow of fuel from Britain to the European mainland.

• Omaha Beach - This stop may be omitted if the guide determines there is insufficient time remaining during the tour.

Omaha Beach remains one of the most iconic D-Day landing sites and holds a place of profound historical significance.

Here, visitors will stand on the very sands where thousands of American soldiers courageously came ashore under intense enemy fire and relentless artillery bombardment on June 6, 1944.

The guide will share the powerful story of the challenges faced by the troops during this fierce and decisive battle, bringing to life the events that unfolded on these shores.

As visitors walk along the beach, they can take a moment to reflect at the memorials and pay tribute to the courage, determination, and sacrifice of the men who fought here in the pursuit of freedom.

• Normandy American Cemetery - The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, perched on a bluff overlooking Omaha Beach, stands as a moving and deeply meaningful tribute to the soldiers who gave their lives during the Normandy campaign.

As visitors walk among the rows of white marble crosses and Stars of David, they will be filled with a profound sense of gratitude and respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of freedom.

The guide will share stories of some of the men laid to rest here and provide insight into the lasting impact their sacrifices had on the course of history and the liberation of Europe.

During the low season, the cemetery closes early. As a result, tours starting at 4:00 PM cannot include a visit to the cemetery.

• Bayeux - On the return journey, a stop in Bayeux will reveal the medieval charm of this town, highlighted by its impressive 11th-century cathedral.

This Gothic masterpiece stands as a fascinating witness to the region’s rich history.

Visitors can take a moment to admire the picturesque streets of Bayeux, lined with half-timbered houses, offering a captivating glimpse of its timeless beauty as the adventure comes to an end.
