Description du service

Omaha Beach, the E1 Draw at Le Ruquet, the beach, the shelf, the bluffs, and the monuments LIVE from Omaha Beach. "Patrick does an amazing job as a tour guide and is extremely informative, but he also does online virtual tours too! Especially important now that many cannot visit the amazing battlefields of Normandy. Patrick can ‘virtually’ take you to the sites of St Mere Eglise, Omaha Beach and Pointe Du Hoc amongst others. I have been going to Normandy every year for the past 10+ years and these online tours have been vital for me being able to see the places I love. Despite feeling I already had a good base knowledge of D-Day events and sites, I have still learnt plenty from Patrick. Excellent tour guide and well recommended!" - TripAdvisor review A LIVE on-location tour of the bunkers, monuments, the shelf and the beach. We begin the tour at the Strongpoint 65 at the E1 Draw, visit the 50mm bunker, then walk along the beach and the shelf to Fox Green sector, the E3 Draw and Strongpoint 62. We will climb the Coleville bluffs and see the 75mm bunkers, the observation bunker of Hein Severloh (the so-called 'Beast of Omaha'), the monuments and the trenches. We end the tour at the 1st Infantry Monument at the very top of the bluffs overlooking Omaha Beach. Using the latest livestreaming mobile technology, Patrick Hilyer's on-location virtual tours bring the sights and sounds of the D-Day battlefields and beaches right to your living room, den or office - on your tablet, computer, laptop, smart phone or TV screen. The tours are interactive - you and your guests can ask questions during the LIVE ZOOM briefing/debriefing. Patrick is an experienced D-Day tour guide and a member of the Normandy Battlefield Tour Guides Association. He and his wife run the travel consultancy We Love Normandy and both have worked in Tourism and Hospitality in Normandy since 2003.
