DAY 1:

Moring- we will drive from PARIS to UTAH BEACH, NORMANDY. After a 3 hour drive (approx.), you will discover UTAH BEACH, which was a code name for one of the five sectors of the allied invasion june 6th, 1944.

We will have lunch in SAINTE-MERE-EGLISE (wine/liquor not included).

Afternoon: AIRBORNE MUSEUM, SAINTE-MERE-EGLISE. The AIRBORNE MUSEUM is located in the heart of SAINTE-MERE-EGLISE, a few miles from the DDay landing beaches, facing the church where John Steele famously hung from his parachute, and relates the heroic adventure of paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st AIRBORNE Divisions. Before or after the museum, we will take a stroll around SAINTE-MERE-EGLISE to discover the town, where hundreds of paratroopers landed during the night of June 5th to June 6th, 1944.

Driving through the countryside, we will discover the flooded lands which gave so much trouble to American soldiers trying to move foward.

We will drive to our accommodation for 3 nights, the château de la CHENEVIERE, a wonderful 18th century farm and mansion that became a hôtel in 1988. The building was occupied by the Germans during the second world war, and by the Americans after the landings.

The cemetery site, at the north end of its half mile access road, covers 172.5 acres and contains the graves of 9,386 of US military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. On the Walls of the Missing, in a semi-circular garden on the east side of the memorial, are inscribed 1,557 names. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified. Duration : 2 hours approx.
