Omaha Beach was part of the invasion area assigned to the U.S. First Army, under Lieutenant General Omar Bradley. The assault sectors at Omaha were code-named (from west to east) Charlie, Dog (consisting of Green, White, and Red sections), Easy (Green and Red sections), and Fox (Green and Red sections).
We will have one stop on Omaha Beach, at either Vierville, St Laurent or Colleville.

Stop 3
Pointe du Hoc is a high point between two of the five D-Day landing beaches, Utah and Omaha. It is renowned for the daring assault conducted on 6 June 1944 by the 2nd U.S. Ranger Battalion in an effort to neutralise the German artillery battery there.

Arromanches-les-Bains is right at the heart of the D-Day landings beaches in the Gold Beach sector. Today, the village is famous all over the world due to the remains of the famous artificial harbour, named after Winston Churchill, with the code name Mulberry A. On 6 June each year, the town celebrates the D-Day landings. Arromanches is also a seaside resort, nestling between two cliffs with an attractive sandy beach.
