A Normandy map for a D-Day trip reads west to east along 80 km of coast, from Utah Beach to Sword. Bayeux and Caen sit inland, Mont-Saint-Michel lies to the south-west, and Le Havre is across the Seine. Find where your tour meets, and check Normandy ticket prices for each site on the way.

The coast from west to east

The American sector

The full days from Bayeux work from west to east. They start at Sainte-Mère-Église and Utah Beach, then drive to Pointe du Hoc, then Omaha Beach and the Normandy American Cemetery.

Pointe du Hoc lies about seven miles west of the cemetery, at Cricqueville-en-Bessin. The German cemetery at La Cambe lies inland, on the old RN 13 road. The Overlord Museum stands 500 m from the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer.

The British and Canadian beaches

East of Port-en-Bessin, the Longues-sur-Mer battery stands on the clifftop. Then comes Arromanches, on the Gold Beach coast, with the remains of the Mulberry harbour off its shore.

Juno Beach follows at Courseulles-sur-Mer, where the Juno Beach Centre stands. Sword Beach is the last of the five, furthest east. The Canadian day from Paris spends its hours on this stretch.

Bayeux and Caen, inland

Bayeux sits a short drive inland from the coast, near the middle of the landing beaches. Most shared days meet there. Bayeux Cathedral and the tourist office on Pont Saint-Jean are in the centre.

Caen is the regional city, east of Bayeux. The Mémorial de Caen stands on Esplanade Général Eisenhower, and its afternoon tour starts from the ticket desk.

Mont-Saint-Michel, to the south-west

Mont-Saint-Michel sits in its bay on the border with Brittany, to the south-west of the beaches. The Mont-Saint-Michel days from Bayeux drive down the coast and bring you back by late afternoon.

From Paris, the Mont is a day of about 14 hours by coach. A private day from Paris can pair it with the D-Day beaches, over 14 and a half hours.

Le Havre, across the Seine

Le Havre lies on the north bank of the Seine estuary, east of the landing beaches. Cruise ships dock there. The shore days drive about two hours each way to the American sector.

Questions about the map

Where do most Normandy tours start?
In Bayeux, at Place du Québec or at your hotel. The long days leave from Porte Maillot or avenue de Wagram in Paris, and the shore days from the Le Havre cruise terminal.
How far is Bayeux from the D-Day beaches?
Close: Bayeux sits a short drive inland from the American sector. That is why a half day from Bayeux can reach Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc and the cemetery.
How far is Paris from the D-Day beaches?
About 170 miles from the Normandy American Cemetery, by ABMC's figure. By train to Bayeux it is two and a half to three hours, depending on whose figure you read.
Where is Mont-Saint-Michel from the D-Day beaches?
To the south-west, in the bay on the border with Brittany. The Mont-Saint-Michel days from Bayeux drive down the coast and back in a day.
Where is Pointe du Hoc?
Between Utah Beach and Omaha Beach, about seven miles west of the Normandy American Cemetery. It sits at Cricqueville-en-Bessin.
Do tours pick me up at my hotel?
The private tours do, and Normandy Sightseeing Tours collects from selected Bayeux hotels. Most shared days meet at Place du Québec in Bayeux, at Porte Maillot or avenue de Wagram in Paris, or outside the Le Havre cruise terminal.

Where these facts come from
