Then you will lunch and visit the landing artificial harbor at Arromanches.
• At lunch time, our guides will be able to advise you and direct you to a large choice of restaurants.
• In the afternoon you will continue your tour with a visit of the beautiful city of Bayeux. Your guide will take you to the magnificent cathedral, the old streets and houses of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. You could also visit, at your leisure, the museum of the famous XI th century Bayeux Tapestry. Many visitors are astonished by the architectural richness and charm of this typical old Norman city.
• Instead of Bayeux, the Battle-of-Normandy enthusiasts could prefer to go to Arromanches 360° Panoramic Cinema and watch an incredible editing archival footage, or visit the new Overlord Museum's impressive collection of armored vehicles and uniforms with its dramatic staging.
