Overview

At Pointe du Hoc, as seen in Saving Private Ryan, you walk among the original craters and bunkers where U.S. Army Rangers scaled the cliffs under fire. At Omaha Beach, your guide narrates every sector of the landing. At the Normandy American Cemetery, 9,387 white marble crosses face the English Channel — one of the most moving sights in all of France.
