Choose by the sites that matter to you.
Before You Book in the D-Day Beaches
Treat cemeteries and memorials as solemn places: speak quietly and dress modestly. Weather is changeable and the beaches are windy, so bring a waterproof jacket and sturdy shoes. Ask which stops include museum entry and which are drive-bys.
Choosing Where to Stay in the D-Day Beaches
Bayeux is the best base, a medieval town about 30 minutes from the beaches and home to the famous tapestry, with Caen as the larger alternative. Trains from Paris reach Bayeux in about 2 hours 15 minutes, so an overnight stay beats the long day trip. Le Havre, the cruise port, is roughly two hours away.
When to Go to the D-Day Beaches
