👉 How to get to Normandy D-Day Beaches from Paris?
1-Rent a car from Paris and drive. Bayeux is about 3 hours from Paris and St Mere l'Eglise (Utah Beach) is about 4 hours.
2-Take a train from Gare St Lazare to Bayeux. This medieval town has lots of boutique hotels, cobblestone streets, and restaurants to enjoy. From there, you'll have many options for guided tours to the D-Day beaches.
3-Book a one-day tour from Paris. It usually leaves at 7am and returns in the evening. This is the marathon option if you only have limited time to see the D-Day Beaches
4-Book a private tour guide & driver from Paris to take you there & back

👉 Where to Stay in Normandy to visit the D-Day beaches?
Bayeux is probably the best option with many boutique hotels to choose from. And it's centrally located with quick access to all the main D-Day locations.

👉 What is the best time to visit Normandy D-Day Beaches?
June & September is probably the best for fewer crowds and better weather. July & August will be crowded with Europeans on summer vacations.

👉 How far is Normandy from Paris France?
By Car: 3-hours to Bayeux which is centrally located and 4-hours to St Mere l'Eglise and Utah Beach
By Train: Gare St Lazare to Bayeux = 3h:13mn

👉 How long does it take to visit the Normandy D-Day Beaches?
We recommend at least 2-days to see all the sites. The best is 3-days to see it all properly. The D-Day beaches are about 70km from one end to the other with small country roads connecting them all.

A miracle my Dad survived from Normandy through the Battle of the Bulge... ❤felt thanks for this!

[juliestephens]

My husband and I went to France this April (2024) and Normandy was part of our tour - so grateful for these brave souls - so grateful - extremely emotional

[wendiecrouch]

Just booked our tickets yesterday for a trip to Normandy in Sept 2024. I am so glad I've found your videos -all of the towns you visited are on our list of must-sees and now I realize the food is also going to be a major attraction! Two retired Canadians.

[byrutesyvret]

YOU ARE THE MOST LOVING ❤️ AND AMAZING COUPLE! THIS MEMORIAL VIDEO SHOULD AIR ALL OVER THE USA AND CANADA AS IT IS THE MOST TOUCHING AND HUMAN VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN! THE TV SPECIALS ARE ALWAYS THE SAME AND WATCHING THEM DOESN'T TOUCH YOUR HEART OR BRING TEARS THE WAY YOUR VIDEO DOES. THANK YOU SO MUCH 💓 FROM MONTREAL CANADA 🇨🇦

[VDash-Slesinski]

We’ve visited Normandy twice. I’m a US Army veteran and worked for a Lieutenant Colonel whose father is buried in Normandy. So we paid tribute to his father while visiting. The Overlord Museum was amazing and as a veteran there was no fee for me to visit. We were touched to see the number of US flags in the area. Thank you for making this video.

I went to D-Day beaches with my dad in 1985 (I think). It was very moving. When we went to Pointe-du-Huc those fences weren't there. It was pretty amazing to go down into one of those shell holes.
We have a picture of my dad walking through the American cemetary. Extremely moving. A treasured memory because he knew he had terminal cancer. My siblings and I didn't know at that time.
My dad insisted that we also go to Germans' cemetary. Dad said it was respectful to go as they were also just young men who died. Also very moving.
Thank you both for reviviing some great memories for me. It was my last trip with my dad, he passed about a year later.

I have wanted to visit the Normandy region for years now. My sole purpose is to visit, and pay respect, to the the brave men buried in the cemetery. I really appreciate this travel video. It hits home. I didn't realize so many thousands of Americans died on the Normandy beaches. May God Rest Their Souls.

[neillambert]

Not just Americans but the Allies which included British, Australian, French, Canadian and other Allied nations

[PeterWhite-jznp]

God bless you both, paying your respects to the fallen.

I have been to these D Day sites many times over the years and know them well. My father landed on D-Day on the 3rd wave, he was the captain of a landing craft at Easy Red sector of Ohama Beach and brought in troops of the 16th regiment of the 1st Infantry Div. Most of them he told at the end of his life that very few of the more than 100 men on this ship did not make it alive to the beach but were cut down in the water. He revisited this site 4 times over the years with me. Your report is just excellent. I am very happy to have found your site, the commentary and film work are just so good in every one of your reports. I hope you continue doing many more of them.

As a French, I remembered the day i bursted in tears, at the America cemetery, showing to my sons the magnitude of your sacrifices. Our school system teaches us what happened so that we remember. Thanks America, South Africa New Zealand the uk , Australia …

[timothynichols]

Thank you for such an appropriate video. As we celebrate Memorial Day, it is wonderful to see that people have not forgotten the cost of our freedom.
My wife and I have watched most of your videos and will be visiting Paris in late June. Thank you for showing us your beautiful country and we look forward to exploring some of your favorite recommendations.

Have a Blessed day

[denisemarino]

From the USA. Thank you for taking me places I will never get to personally visit. Viva la France.

[taffdavies]

Damn, I have tears in my eyes and yet I am smiling and enjoying your little vacation. You have excelled yourselves with this little adventure. MERCI. 36 yrs in the British Army and never visited, I will now.

[DwightSanders]

Thank you for this video (and all your others). My wife and I will be participating in the 80th anniversary of D-Day as part of the Normandy Freedom Chorus from California and your video was the perfect way to prep for what our experience will be like. If you are in the neighborhood for the events stop by and say hi. I think most of our group are preparing for our trip by watching all of your Les Frenchies videos. Thank you!!

[hildabrunski]

This was a fantastic video Les Frenchies! Love how you intertwined your personal love story with some very touching thoughts on war and the D day locations. You covered so much ground that if someone can't make it over to France, they can watch this vlog & get a real feel for the historic sights and the emotions that they invoke. Thank you for taking us on this road trip.

[jeanwhite]

My husband and I watched this on memorial day with excitement, because we stayed in Bayeux while we visited this area on our first trip to France. We visited the beaches near there as well as Gold and Juno Beaches. We vowed to return, as his father landed on Juno on D-day and we were on a van day tour with not enough time to really see and take in all the things we wanted to. When we return, We will travel by train to the area and rent a car in the local area. The Caen museum is one of the places we want to take in. Thank You for your excellent video. Thank You for portraying not only the views but also the very poignant emotions, a visit to this place and time in our history bring forth.🇨🇦🙏🏻

[bethcook]

Thank you for this video. My father was an Army Ranger at the Omaha landing. He would never talk about that day.

[simplybysuzie]

This is one of the best episodes. I was very emotional. Thank you for showing us the history.
