Itinerary

  • Bayeux

    Your Gentleman Sider (Guide/Driver) will meet you with his retro sidecar at the pickup location of your choice, or at the Bayeux Tourist Office, or at the Bayeux Bus Station. He will assist you in equipping helmets, gloves, and retro goggles before settling you in. There will, of course, be stops along the way for breaks and photo opportunities.

    16 minutes

  • Arromanches-les-Bains

    Your pilot will take you to Arromanches-les-Bains. It was on this beach that, during the Battle of Normandy, immediately after D-Day on June 6, 1944, the Allies established Port Mulberry B, a temporary artificial harbor to facilitate the landing of heavy equipment, without having to wait for the conquest of deep-water ports such as those of Le Havre or Cherbourg (Cherbourg-en-Cotentin since 2016). Although located in the center of the Gold Beach landing zone, Arromanches was spared the brunt of the fighting on D-Day. In order to facilitate the installation and operation of a port as quickly as possible, it was essential not to damage the beach and to preserve the surrounding communication routes. Therefore, the British troops landed further east, between Asnelles and Ver-sur-Mer, and liberated Arromanches by land on the evening of June 6. The port was thus operational by June 14.

    1 hour

  • Longues-sur-Mer

    The Longues-sur-Mer Battery is one of the coastal artillery batteries of the Atlantic Wall, situated in the coastal town of Longues-sur-Mer in Calvados, Normandy. The site consisted of four 150 mm long-range naval guns, each protected by a reinforced concrete casemate, along with various installations to serve and defend them. Located in the Allied landing zone in Normandy, between Omaha Beach and Gold Beach, the battery faced intense aerial and naval bombardments on D-Day, preventing it from fully engaging, and was captured by British troops the following day. Classified as a Historic Monument, it is in good condition. The site is well-preserved and has become a popular stop for visitors touring the D-Day landing sites.

    1 hour

  • Port-en-Bessin-Huppain

    Liberated on June 8, 1944, by the 47th Royal Marines Commando during Operation Overlord, Port-en-Bessin quickly became the hub for a network of pipelines stretching approximately 120 km, intended to supply fuel to the Allied armies. By June 16, it was operational. By late August 1944, this system was augmented by Operation PLUTO, which involved the laying of pipelines between the Isle of Wight and Querqueville near Cherbourg.

    30 minutes

  • Omaha Beach

    Omaha Beach remains one of the most iconic landing sites of D-Day, holding undeniable historical significance. Standing here, you'll be on the same sands where thousands of American soldiers courageously landed amidst intense gunfire and artillery barrage. Your guide will emotionally narrate the challenges faced by the soldiers during this fierce battle. As you walk along the beach, take a moment to pay tribute to the memorials and reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought here.

    30 minutes

  • Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer

    The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, perched on a cliff overlooking Omaha Beach, stands as a poignant and deeply moving tribute to the fallen soldiers. As you stroll among the rows of white marble crosses and Stars of David, you will be filled with a profound sense of gratitude and respect for those who sacrificed their lives for freedom. Your guide will share stories about the individuals laid to rest here and provide insightful perspectives on the significant impact of their sacrifices on the course of history.

    1 hour

  • Pointe du Hoc

    Pointe du Hoc emerged as a crucial strategic theater during the Allied D-Day landing operation in Normandy on June 6, 1944. Nestled between Utah Beach to the west and Omaha Beach to the east, this promontory was fiercely fortified by the Germans (WN 751). Allied aerial reconnaissance revealed the presence of formidable long-range artillery pieces, threatening the adjacent beaches. The swift neutralization of these cannons was deemed crucial to the success of the landing. Explore with fascination this historic site where bravery and strategy played a pivotal role in liberation.

Unique and original D day discovery

Published on Jan, 2025

Amazing experience with Philippe who was a great driver and super knowledgeable about the region and its history. Very unique way of discovering the region of the D Day

Riding through history

Published on Nov, 2024

I had a marvelous time with my driver/guide Phillipe, riding along the Normandy coast. He was very knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the history of D-day, building on his own experiences in the Gendarmarie. People on the streets loved the sidecar and we got smiles, waves and questions everywhere we went. Highly recommended and I will do it again.

Private sidecar tour with Remi

Published on Nov, 2024

Remi was great , very knowledgeable and good energy , the sidecar was a wonderful and memorable experience visiting the D Day beaches/ cemetery

Such a wonderful experience.

Published on Oct, 2024

We had the best time on this trip. Our guide asked us what we cared about more and he took us there. His stories were wonderful, as was the history. I would highly recommend this.

Perfect Tour for History Buffs

Published on Oct, 2024

Absolutely best tour of my vacation in Bayeux. The best way to see the beautiful countryside is in a motorcycle side car. Remi was the best tour guide possible, giving insight and knowledge at every location and even pointing out lesser know facts at each stop. He was accommodating, knowledgeable and a top tier guide. He always drove safely and ensured I was comfortable the whole tour. Remi knew all the ins and outs of each stop and added enough information to flesh out the experience. Would recommend to anyone who has any interest in the history of D-Day would for sure do it again and see more spots!
