Paris and the Normandy Beaches from Basel

Basel to Paris and the Normandy D-Day beaches by rail

Railbookers operates this 5-day, 4-night independent rail package designed as an add-on to a Rhine River Cruise ending in Basel. From Basel, travelers take a direct high-speed train to Paris for two days of sightseeing, then continue on to the ancient city of Bayeux for a full day tour of the D-Day Landing Beaches, before returning to Paris. As an independent rail package, travelers arrange their own sightseeing in Paris rather than following a group guide, while the Normandy portion centers on the day-long tour of the landing beaches. The package does not say how the remaining nights split between Bayeux and the return stay in Paris. Starting from $1,699 per person, this trip suits travelers extending a Rhine river cruise who want to see Paris and the Normandy D-Day sites by rail before or after their cruise.
