Paris, Normandy & D-day Beaches

Self-guided 6-day Paris and Normandy D-Day beaches trip by train

Authentic Europe runs this 6-day, 5-night self-guided tour from Paris into Normandy. After two nights in Paris, day 3 is a train journey to Bayeux, described in the evidence as a medieval town in the heart of Normandy. Day 4 is a full-day guided minivan excursion to Normandy's major D-Day sites and landing beaches, including entrance tickets and guided tours of the US cemetery and Pointe du Hoc. Day 5 leaves time to explore Bayeux before the train back to Paris, ahead of departure on day 6 (an optional tour extension is available). Train tickets include reserved seats, and 5 nights of hotel accommodation with breakfast are included; a 24/7 emergency phone line is available since most of the trip is unguided. The operator also recommends an optional excursion to Mont Saint-Michel, which requires an extra night in Bayeux and is not part of the base itinerary. This suits travelers focused on the D-Day history of Normandy who want the beaches excursion guided but the rest of the trip self-guided.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has risen €70 since 4 Jul, to €940.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

One reading is held out of the price above and this history: an unconfirmed large change. We only price on the operator's package from-price, read from its own page.
