September 13

Day 2, Friday

September 13

Coordinated morning flights arrive into Charles de Gaulle.

We'll link up in the lobby of the nearby Hilton Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to allow for people to relax while others arrive. We'll do our best to get free and clear of the notorious Paris traffic and stop for lunch at in route to Normandy, once we are out of the city limits.

After arriving in Normandy, we'll dive right into the D-Day story, beginning with Pegasus Bridge and the first home liberated in Operation Overlord, Café Gondré. We'll then tour a command bunker in Ouistreham to get a feel of the defenses of Hitler's famed Atlantic Wall. Next, we'll head to Sword Beach to discuss the role of Lord Lovat and his Commandoes, before heading west to Arromanches to gaze upon the remnants of the Mulberry Harbor which still sits in the water, seventy-nine years later!

We'll get checked into our hotel soon after and get an early dinner, as you will be ready for a much needed sleep!

OVERNIGHT: NORMANDY
