Why starting the tour at the Normandy American Cemetery?
We start the tour of the American D-Day landing beaches in the Normandy American Cemetery to avoid the crowd. The Normandy American cemetery is very crowded in the afternoon and we want you to be able to pay your respects to the fallen in a peaceful atmosphere. Almost 2 million visitors are coming to the Normandy American Cemetery every year and the best time to see it is early in the morning. It also gives you better opportunities to take photos.
