"...today we brought a bit of Normandy to my dad and father-in-law - Patrick led a private, interactive tour streamed right to our TV. He even climbed the bluffs of Omaha Beach- just like being there! Thank you Patrick..." - TripAdvisor review A Private on-location virtual tour of the first town to be liberated by the US Army on D-Day. We will see the mannequin of Private John Steele still hanging from his parachute lines from the church bell tower, the original water pump used by the enemy soldiers and the townsfolk on the night of June 6th 1944, and the bullet holes still visible from the exchange of fire. The medieval church of the Holy Mother is included in the tour, as are the fabulous stained-glass windows that pay homage to the paratroopers of the 505th regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division. It's an amazing place and an enthralling story.
