D-Day Landings in Normandy
The Allied landings on the Normandy coast during Operation Overlord – the invasion of mainland Europe – on June 6, 1944, marked a watershed moment in the Second World War. On our main WW2 Introductory Tour, we see some of the most iconic D-Day locations and visit all of the Normandy landing beaches, as well as the site of the Pegasus Bridge glider landing and where the ‘Band of Brothers’ fought near St. Mère Eglise.
