Normandy Wheelchair Accessible Driving Tour from Paris

This Normandy Wheelchair Accessible Driving Tour from Paris takes you to all the must see WWII sites scattered across the beautiful Normandy region. You won’t just be snapping pictures and admiring historical sights from your vehicle, you’ll be making several stops to get out and experience them up close, while your professional, local guide enthusiastically explain and share the significance and history of each place with you.

Your day will start early when your private chauffeur picks you up from your accessible Paris hotel and escorts you to Normandy. Your friendly tour guide will meet you at the Caen train station to start your day of exploring Normandy!

You’ll make several stops along the most significant WWII places in the region, including Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, and Sainte-Mere-Eglise.

On this accessible WWII tour, you’ll visit the first American Cemetery on European Soil in WWII, the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. This impressive memorial site contains the graves of 9,387 American millitary personnel, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings. The memorial is centered by a 22 foot bronze statue, and also displays battle maps, authentic battle viewpoints and a “Walls of the Missing” with 1,557 names inscribed.

This accessible Normandy tour also takes you to Pointe de Hoc Ranger Monument which was created by the French to honor the American Second Ranger Battalion, who scaled the 100-foot cliffs and seized the German artillery pieces that could have fired on the American landing troops at Omaha and Utah beaches. The battlefield character of Point du Hoc is still intact. With the rain of bombs and shells the allies unleashed to neutralize this rocky point, severe destruction of the site took place and can still be seen by visitors today. In fact, more than 600 tons of bombs were dropped at this very place!

Finally, there will also be time to visit the fascinating Airborn Museum, a French museum dedicated to the memory of American paratroopers who were dropped into Normandy on the night of June 5th. – 6th. In 1944.

At the end of this accessible tour, your guide will bring you back to a location where you will meet your driver who will bring you back to your accessible Paris hotel.
