You will walk along Utah Beach and Omaha Beach and be impressed by the Pointe du Hoc that the Rangers had to climb under enemy fire. Your guide will share his passion with you by giving you the information that will allow you to relive the story. You will discover not only all the key places of this event but also the impressive Mont St Michel on the border of Brittany and Normandy.
