    ==== 🤔 NORMANDY FAQ's ====
    👉 How to get to Normandy D-Day Beaches from Paris?
    1-Rent a car from Paris and drive. Bayeux is about 3 hours from Paris and St Mere l'Eglise (Utah Beach) is about 4 hours.
    2-Take a train from Gare St Lazare to Bayeux. This medieval town has lots of boutique hotels, cobblestone streets, and restaurants to enjoy. From there, you'll have many options for guided tours to the D-Day beaches.
    3-Book a one-day tour from Paris. It usually leaves at 7am and returns in the evening. This is the marathon option if you only have limited time to see the D-Day Beaches
    4-Book a private tour guide & driver from Paris to take you there & back
    👉 Where to Stay in Normandy to visit the D-Day beaches?
    Bayeux is probably the best option with many boutique hotels to choose from. And it's centrally located with quick access to all the main D-Day locations.
    👉 What is the best time to visit Normandy D-Day Beaches?
    June & September is probably the best for fewer crowds and better weather. July & August will be crowded with Europeans on summer vacations.
    👉 How far is Normandy from Paris France?
    By Car: 3-hours to Bayeux which is centrally located and 4-hours to St Mere l'Eglise and Utah Beach
    By Train: Gare St Lazare to Bayeux = 3h:13mn
    👉 How long does it take to visit the Normandy D-Day Beaches?
    We recommend at least 2-days to see all the sites. The best is 3-days to see it all properly. The D-Day beaches are about 70km from one end to the other with small country roads connecting them all.

    We’ve visited Normandy twice. I’m a US Army veteran and worked for a Lieutenant Colonel whose father is buried in Normandy. So we paid tribute to his father while visiting. The Overlord Museum was amazing and as a veteran there was no fee for me to visit. We were touched to see the number of US flags in the area. Thank you for making this video.

    I have wanted to visit the Normandy region for years now. My sole purpose is to visit, and pay respect, to the the brave men buried in the cemetery. I really appreciate this travel video. It hits home. I didn't realize so many thousands of Americans died on the Normandy beaches. May God Rest Their Souls.

    I went to D-Day beaches with my dad in 1985 (I think). It was very moving. When we went to Pointe-du-Huc those fences weren't there. It was pretty amazing to go down into one of those shell holes.
    We have a picture of my dad walking through the American cemetary. Extremely moving. A treasured memory because he knew he had terminal cancer. My siblings and I didn't know at that time.
    My dad insisted that we also go to Germans' cemetary. Dad said it was respectful to go as they were also just young men who died. Also very moving.
    Thank you both for reviviing some great memories for me. It was my last trip with my dad, he passed about a year later.

    I have been to these D Day sites many times over the years and know them well. My father landed on D-Day on the 3rd wave, he was the captain of a landing craft at Easy Red sector of Ohama Beach and brought in troops of the 16th regiment of the 1st Infantry Div. Most of them he told at the end of his life that very few of the more than 100 men on this ship did not make it alive to the beach but were cut down in the water. He revisited this site 4 times over the years with me. Your report is just excellent. I am very happy to have found your site, the commentary and film work are just so good in every one of your reports. I hope you continue doing many more of them.

    Thanks for this fabulous video of the D-Day beaches and surrounding towns. My father jumped with the 82nd Airborne Division on D-Day and I had always wanted to visit Normandy with him. Sadly, I'll plan a visit next year, sadly though with out my father.

    • @LesFrenchiesTravel
      @LesFrenchiesTravel  Před 7 měsíci +1

      I'm sorry for your loss. Although he survived, there's no doubt your dad sacrificed a lot for our freedom. My dad best friend couldn't bring himself to come back to France for our wedding. The memories were just too painful. The casualties weren't just the ones who lost their lives back then. Wishing you a beautiful trip.

    This was a fantastic video Les Frenchies! Love how you intertwined your personal love story with some very touching thoughts on war and the D day locations. You covered so much ground that if someone can't make it over to France, they can watch this vlog & get a real feel for the historic sights and the emotions that they invoke. Thank you for taking us on this road trip.

    I just spent two weeks in France. My first visit to Normandy. I visited all five DDay Beaches. So much history to see. The view you were able to show at Pointe du Hoc was fantastic. Walking around those bomb craters was impressive, but to see it from the air was startling. It is fitting that I watched this video on Memorial Day and you visited the American Cemetery in Normandy. Such a historic place to visit. So somber and the ultimate sacrifice by those brave soldiers. I am going back in July for two months. Visiting many of the same sites again but now with a better idea of what I am seeing.

  • @francinesicard464
    @francinesicard464 Před rokem +7

    Thank you so much for this very interesting video. Although born 5 years after the war, I am always deeply shaken and overwhelmed by the number of US and UK young lives sacrificed for our freedom. There will never be enough thanks in a lifetime. The only way is to maintain the peace in Europe, at ALL costs.

I’m jealous for your connection to France. I love French food but prefer Spanish wines. My oldest married a Spaniard. Would love to spend more time in France.

    My husband and I watched this on memorial day with excitement, because we stayed in Bayeux while we visited this area on our first trip to France. We visited the beaches near there as well as Gold and Juno Beaches. We vowed to return,as his father landed on Juno on D-day and we were on a van day tour with not enough time to really see and take in all the things we wanted to. When we return, We will travel by train to the area and rent a car in the local area. The Caen museum is one of the places we want to take in. Thank You for your excellent video. Thank You for portraying not only the views but also the very poignant emotions, a visit to this place and time in our history bring forth.🇨🇦🙏🏻

    @33rdusa Před rokem +4

    I was in the US Army in the early 70's station in Heidelberg. I've been to several US war cemeteries in France and Belgium but never (yet) been to the D Day area. Thanks so much for this posting. I get emotional just watching it and thinking of what happened there and it's significance. Wondering how I would have reacted had I found myself in those circumstances. The world knows what those men did and will never forget.

  • @famousseamus17
    @famousseamus17 Před 3 měsíci +4

    Visited much you include in this vid, including staying in Bayeux for 3 nights. Loved, loved, loved Bayeux and fell in love with Normandy. Visiting the beaches and battle sites was sobering and the cemeteries, with seemingly endless cross markers, made the cost of those young lives snuffed out so much more real than just reading about it. As a former Marine, I was touched deeply.
    I think the knowledge that the French remember, and revere those who gave all, and take care of those sites so carefully and respectfully made me love France even more.♥

    • @monainsandiego
      @monainsandiego Před 2 měsíci

      Wished we had stayed in Bayeux last May. We loved Normandy. Every American should spend a week in Normandy. We stayed in Caen and made day trips to the cemeteries, beaches, and Bayeux. This year we will explore Brittany and maybe go back to Normandy. The salted butter is the best in the world.

    I hope to visit Normandy someday soon. If you’ve watched the series “Band of Brothers” and/or visited the National World War Two Museum in New Orleans, you get a taste of experiencing the horrors of the battle. (My father fought later, in the Battle of the Bulge…)

  • @lisekapp268
    @lisekapp268 Před 4 měsíci +3

    Thank you for this video. My father served in the pacific theater, and even in the 1970’s, he would occasion to remind me that I was lucky I don’t speak German. Someday, my husband and I will travel to Normandy, and pay our respects. They deserve it. 🙏🏻

    Thank you for this special Memorial Day treat! My grandfather was a WWII survivor. We went to Normandy in 2019, luckily right before Covid. We first went to Omaha Beach and it was pouring rain and wind. By the time we got to the American Cemetery, the sun came out and a beautiful rainbow stretched over the cemetery and ended in the sea. So representative of these two places!!

    Thanks. We were in Normandy in December 2021 and visited many (not all) of the places you did. We stayed at a B&B in Bayeux and loved it-especially the tapestry. We cannot wait to return and visit more places. Our first stop was the museum in Caen. It was an easy drive from Paris and loved the small roads and little towns everywhere.

    Great video! I visited Normandy in 2018 and stayed there for 8 days and lived with French farmers in various towns. Went to the beaches and many towns like Carentan, Saint Marie du Mont, Sainte Mere Eglise, Caen and its museum, Bayeaux and its Tapestry Museum, Pointe du Hoc, Utah and Omaha beaches, American cemetery and to all the museums, Longues sur Mer, etc...I have met D Day veterans and Band of Brothers actors.

    You are so wonderful! I have become such a fan. Visiting the Day Beaches and the American Military Cemetery years ago was such a poignant experience for me. Next month I will share it with my 2 sons who would be the age of those amazing young men that gave their life for our freedom. As a young woman, I lived and worked in France. At one point, my father was the military attaché in the Paris embassy. He was often invited to represent those American young men that gave their lives. He never could hold back his tears in those experiences. Thank you for sharing.

    This was absolutely wonderful. Thank you both so much for your tours, tips, and emotions as I feel like I was with you on this journey. My husband and I are planning a Europe trip this Summer and will definitely be visiting these sites. God bless you from Texas!

    I've followed your channel for a while, and have always enjoyed your videos.
    This one, from your 3-day visit to Normandy is excellent. It's very moving and authentic. I've visited the region many times, including taking my two sons there on several occasions when they were younger. The Omaha and Utah beaches were THE most difficult of the 5 D-Day landing beaches, and the US lost more soldiers there than any other nation in the landings. As Brits, we stayed close to Sword and Gold beaches most, but we did also visit Juno, Omaha and Utah. The Caen Memorial Museum is astounding.
    Thank you for what you're doing as "Les Frenchies". You have brought a unique take on living in France (and especially Paris) and I really love your passion and authenticity. Most of all I admire your honesty (and of course recommendations for places to eat!).

    Thank you for all of your videos. My wife and I are traveling to Paris and Normandy in late May of this year - 2023. My Dad landed on Utah beach with the 4th infantry division - 44th field artillery on June 6. I believe he landed around 10 am to 10:30 am that morning. He never made it back to France and I am taking this trip for him. I too expect to be very emotional during this trip.

    I don’t know why this appeared in my feed now, but we loved our trip to Normandy in June 2019! Came a week after the 75th anniversary- took the high speed train to Rennes and then rented a car to drive to Mont St. Michel. 2 nights there and then to Bayeux. Did a 2 day tour of all the WWII stuff - so worth it! I am NOT a tour person but our guides knew so much and took us on private land for some spots! Had never heard of the Bayeux tapestry, had some extra time on our last morning and decided tog go - so glad we did. Have become obsessed with English history since and it appears in videos everywhere. Such an amazing trip!!!

    Thank you so much for this wonderful video. So interesting and so touching. I've been to Normandy, but never to the D-DAY beaches. I definitely will go after I move to Paris this fall. Thank you both, again. I love your videos. God bless from Las Vegas.

    Thank you for this video. My grandpa was stationed in Normandy during WWII, as a medic. In discovering my French ancestry, I found out my family is from the Normandy, Rouen area so it's kinda amazing that he was there during the war, but probably didn't know that is where his lineage started. I visited WWII monuments in Washington, D.C. and it was very emotional, but this video even more so. I am finally visiting Paris in April and plan to make Normandy a future trip as well as the South of France. Thank you for continuing to make beautiful videos of places I long to visit.

    Thank you for this video .
    Husband and I visited Brussels last spring because I used to work at NATO and went on 40 year memory lane self guided tour . I wanted to take husband to visit Bastogne but none of the tours were running for some reason😢 and it was too far for us by car . My dad was born in Zeeland Netherlands and used to talk about Bastogne .
    So husband and I shortened our Belgium trip ( after we visited Brrugge of course ), took the train to Paris and using your videos had a very nice short visit there .
    Husband and I spent our careers supporting or military service men and women in logistics and weapon system design . And for some reason I really want to visit Normandy ever since the 80s … don’t know why . Your videos are always such a huge help !!
    I’m going to look to see if you have one on Dardogne ..

    I love your videos. Normandy brings back sad memories for me. I didn’t loose anyone, but the stories my great uncle told and seeing Omaha Beach, the grave yard,all of it actually, brings his stories to life. What are boys, the French, Jews, England just name a few should never happen again. Now we fight gangs and so forth. Thanks for your videos.
    My husband is of French descent and he is dying to come that way. When it happens we will look you up for some private tour guiding.❤

    Another awesome video. 👍 I have been visiting Normandy for the D-Day anniversary from the US every five years for a long time, and have still not seen everything. Your video did a great job of hitting many of the highlights. One of the key sites I would add to your list as a MUST see is Pegasus Bridge in the British sector on the eastern end of the invasion beaches.
