How to Visit the D-Day Battlefields of Normandy
Battlefield historian Mat McLachlan gives you all the information you need to plan a visit to the D-Day battlefields of Normandy. Mat will show you how to get there, where to stay and what to see on your once-in-a-lifetime journey to Normandy!
ABOUT US: Mat McLachlan is a leading international battlefield historian and has spent more than two decades walking the great battlefields of history. His tour company, Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours, takes travellers and history lovers to battlefields all over the world, in Europe, Asia, the Pacific and North America, escorted by the world’s leading military historians.
HISTORY OVERVIEW: D-Day was the Allied invasion of Western Europe, which took place on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Over the next three months American, British, Canadian and other Allied troops pushed the Germans back and liberated France.
LOCATION: The Normandy region is in France, about 150 miles west of Paris. You’ll need 2-3 days to see all the sites, but can see the main ones in a (long) day-trip from Paris.
GETTING THERE: Hire a car or catch a train from Paris, or join an organised tour.
WHERE TO STAY: The two main towns are Bayeux (for the American Sector) and Caen (for the British/Canadian Sector). There is a range of accommodation in each.
TOURS: Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours offers fully-escorted tours of the Normandy battlefields. Visit battlefields.com.au/normandy-d-day-tour (Australia) or battletours.com/normandy-d-day-landing-tour (USA).
GUIDEBOOKS: I recommend ‘Walking D-Day’ by Paul Reed and ‘D-Day: Normandy Landing Beaches’ by Major and Mrs Holt.
VISIT OUR WEBSITE: Our full range of tours throughout Europe, Asia, North America and the Pacific can be found on our websites (tailored for US or Australian visitors):
US site: battletours.com
Australian site: battlefields.com.au
I look forward to helping you walk in the footsteps of heroes!

Bayeux, France
Normandy is a beautiful part of France. The Liberation of Europe began near the town of Bayeux on June 6, 1944. Bayeux, about 200 miles from Paris on the English Channel, is a great place to start your tour of the famous World War II battle sites and famous Mont Saint Michel monestery. Our hotel, The Churchill in Bayeux, has a shuttle van to Mont Ste. Michel. We took a Victory Tour of the D-Day sites. It picks up at the Churchill and was excellent. After you see Paris, Normandy is a great place to visit.

Bayeux, Normandy & The D Day Landings Europe 2017 No 13
Description
We start this video in Bayeux France on the 25th Nov 2017 with a visit to the Bayeux Cathedral, then driving out towards the Normandy coast to take in some of the history & sights of the WW2 D-Day landings. Our first stop was La Cambe which is a Second World War German military war grave cemetery, located close to the American landing beach of Omaha, and 25.5 km north east of Bayeux. It is the largest German war cemetery in Normandy and contains over 21,200 German military personnel. Driving down to the coast we arrive in Grandcamp-Maisy which is a coastal village harbour & La Pointe du Hoc which is a promontory with a 100-foot cliff overlooking the English Channel. Halfway between Omaha Beach and Utah Beach, the Pointe du Hoc dominates the sea from its vertical cliff.
With this video I recommend that you pause at the different dedication signs to learn more of the history of this area.
Then a visit to Omaha, commonly known as Omaha Beach, it was the code name for one of the five sectors of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France
We then drive to the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy, that honours the American soldiers. Total burials: 9,388 Commemorated: 1,557 Unknowns: 307.
It was quite a moving day as we explored this area with so many lives lost. Here, in the midst of the D-Day beaches, you still get a strong sense of the huge effort involved in the Allied invasion to liberate France and the rest of Western Europe
The next day we set off to Mulberry artificial harbour near Arromanches, During the Normandy Invasion of World War II, it was part of the Gold Beach landing area and was taken by the British 50th Division on D-Day (June 6, 1944).
