D-Day Anniversary Trip to Paris and Normandy Beaches
01-27-2014
Libertyville, IL, January 27, 2014—If ever you thought about visiting Normandy and the D-Day Beaches, this—the 70th anniversary of D-Day—is the year to do it. It’s also an amazing World War II history lesson for the kids’ spring vacation. To commemorate the anniversary, TourCrafters has designed a 7-Day/6-Night D-Day package that starts at $1,659 per person, based on four persons traveling together.
TourCrafters’ land-only price includes three nights hotel accommodation in Paris, three nights in Bayeux, daily buffet breakfast, round-trip 1st-class train Paris-Bayeux, transfers to and from the rail stations and a tour of the D-Day Landing Beaches. It does not include air fare. Departures are daily through October.
There’s free time to explore the “City of Light,” to see the Eiffel Tower, visit the Louvre and Notre Dame, walk around the beguiling streets of the Left Bank, have a croque monsieur in a café, or even take a photogenic Bateau Mouche cruise on the River Seine. The Paris hotel, the 4-star Emeraude Louvre Montana boasts a perfect location—steps from the Tuileries and the Louvre—and a friendly, helpful staff.
In Bayeux, the first French city to be liberated in June of 1944, you will be picked up for a
D-Day Tour of the American Sector, to visit Omaha Beach where the Americans landed, to see the site of the German gun battery at Pointe du Hoc (where Rangers famously scaled the impossible 100-foot cliffs), and to wander through the thousands of white crosses and Stars of David in the very moving American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer. There’s also free time in Bayeux, to stroll its medieval streets, tour its 11th-century cathedral, visit the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy, and see the famed Bayeux Tapestry, a 230-foot embroidery that tells the story of William the Conqueror’s invasion of England. The charming 3-star Hotel Churchill has an equally perfect location—in the very center of Bayeux—and its lovely, gracious owner speaks perfect English.
All prices quoted are per person, double occupancy, and are subject to availability. (They are higher from April to August.) For additional information about the land-only 70th Anniversary D-Day package, visithttp://sales.tourcrafters.com/tour.lasso?ID=220. For reservations, call 800-482-5995.
