Know before you go
  • Reduced mobility: I am happy to tour with people with limited capacities. I will adapt the itinerary, the schedule, and the access to the different sites. You must be able to get in and out of a car. An option for a guide plus a chauffeur who will take care of the participant with a reduced capacity is recommended. For special needs, please inquire about a quote.
  • Child friendly: This tour suits children over eight years old. My tours for families offer activities that can suit any age: 3D movies, jeep tours, escape games, flight simulators in an actual C47, and day and night reenactments. I also have some educative quizzes to play in a fun atmosphere. I would happily give you some tips on arranging your trip during the D-Day Festival. For special needs, please inquire about a quote.
  • We must ensure their story is passed on from present to future generations! It is impossible to cover the five landing sectors in one day (Omaha, Utah, Pointe du Hoc for the American, Gold and Sword for the British, and Juno for the Canadian sector). I will customise a specific tour if you require it.
