Our commemorative 11-day D-Day to Channel Islands Tour offers a special combination of remembering the most heroic American moments of the D-Day landings and the discovery of a lesser-known period of World War II, the German occupation of the Channel Islands. It is designed for people who want to combine culture and military history on their vacation in Normandy. In addition to attending the annual D-Day commemorations, this trip has a special focus on the American landing sectors and the breakout from Normandy with our journey ending at the medieval abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel. On the Channel Islands, you will have a chance to see one-of-a-kind remnants of Hitler’s infamous Atlantic Wall. You will learn how the locals coped daily with five years of Nazi occupation on these British Crown Dependencies. You will be surprised on how many levels American history and culture is linked to that of the Islands. The Islands’ natural beauty and the gastronomic delights will contribute to making this tour an unforgettable journey.
