Early light, salt on the breeze: you step from the car at Omaha Beach as the tide pulls back, revealing wide sand and the faint rise of Colleville’s American Cemetery above. A few minutes on the tideline set the scene before talk turns to German defenses and Czech hedgehogs. At Pointe du Hoc, the sheared cliff and June 1944 bomb craters tell the Rangers’ story without embellishment. Arromanches, later, decodes the logistics of the Mulberry harbor—its Phoenix caissons still out on the flats when the sea retreats.
Your driver handles the day from your Caen hotel at 8 am, with a flexible route and well-timed stops to match museum visits and quiet moments. In and around Caen, our private chauffeur manages access, parking near key exhibits, and the sequence—Omaha, Pointe du Hoc, then Arromanches—before Bayeux, 30 minutes away, for the cathedral and the Tapestry. You talk, you taste a local AOP cider if you like; they take care of the road, the coastal traffic, and the tides that shape what you’ll see.

Your chauffeur’s tip
To best see Arromanches’ Phoenix caissons, plan for a mid‑afternoon low tide and stand by the Arromanches-les-Bains viewpoint—the layout of the bay reads clearly from there.
