With the Day Pass, you have a ticket to the Caen Mémorial Museum and a D-Day tour included to explore the scenes from the Normandy landings.
What Does the Day Pass Include?
The Day Pass is a tourist pass which includes a D-Day tour and admission to the Caen Mémorial Museum. Below, you can see what each of these entails:
The D-Day tour
This tour takes place on the day you choose in your reservation. On this day, we'll meet at the time indicated at the entrance to the Caen Mémorial Museum and, from this museum, we'll head by minibus to the key places in the Normandy Landings. This event, which took place on the 6th of June 1944, was one of the biggest landmark moments in the Second World War.
We'll start this tour by journeying to Pointe du Hoc, an important cliff in this event. After learning its story, we'll move on to Omaha Beach. Here, on one of the main beaches in the Normandy Landings, we'll see remains that are still present today.
Finally, we'll travel to Colleville-sur-Mer to see the Normandy American Cemetery. From here, we'll return to the Caen Mémorial Museum, after approximately 5 hours.
Ticket to Caen Mémorial
Your Day Pass also includes admission to the Caen Mémorial, which you can explore at your own pace without a guide.
The Caen Mémorial is a museum dedicated to the Second World War, the Normandy Landings and the Cold War. Your ticket includes access to the temporary exhibition as well as the permanent collection, where you'll find a large selection of weaponry, uniforms, vehicles, maps, propaganda posters and other objects.
You can do your free tour of the museum on the same day as the D-Day tour, before starting the tour, or the next day.
