How to Visit the D-Day Battlefields of Normandy
Battlefield historian Mat McLachlan gives you all the information you need to plan a visit to the D-Day battlefields of Normandy. Mat will show you how to get there, where to stay and what to see on your once-in-a-lifetime journey to Normandy!
ABOUT US: Mat McLachlan is a leading international battlefield historian and has spent more than two decades walking the great battlefields of history. His tour company, Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours, takes travellers and history lovers to battlefields all over the world, in Europe, Asia, the Pacific and North America, escorted by the world’s leading military historians.
HISTORY OVERVIEW: D-Day was the Allied invasion of Western Europe, which took place on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Over the next three months American, British, Canadian and other Allied troops pushed the Germans back and liberated France.
LOCATION: The Normandy region is in France, about 150 miles west of Paris. You’ll need 2-3 days to see all the sites, but can see the main ones in a (long) day-trip from Paris.
GETTING THERE: Hire a car or catch a train from Paris, or join an organised tour.
WHERE TO STAY: The two main towns are Bayeux (for the American Sector) and Caen (for the British/Canadian Sector). There is a range of accommodation in each.

GUIDEBOOKS: I recommend ‘Walking D-Day’ by Paul Reed and ‘D-Day: Normandy Landing Beaches’ by Major and Mrs Holt.

Bayeux, France
Normandy is a beautiful part of France. The Liberation of Europe began near the town of Bayeux on June 6, 1944. Bayeux, about 200 miles from Paris on the English Channel, is a great place to start your tour of the famous World War II battle sites and famous Mont Saint Michel monestery. Our hotel, The Churchill in Bayeux, has a shuttle van to Mont Ste. Michel. We took a Victory Tour of the D-Day sites. It picks up at the Churchill and was excellent. After you see Paris, Normandy is a great place to visit.

A weekend in Normandy, France (Battle fields tour)
In this video, I'm off to Normandy, France to visit some of the key locations of the D-Day invasion on 6th June 1944.
This is a trip organised by Old Swinford Hospital School's Combined Cadet Force. Personally, I've been in the CCF since 2012. I am currently at the rank of sergeant in the RAF section. Throughout my time in the CCF, I have learnt and achieved more than I thought I ever would, it's taught me to fly, survival skills and also some skill at arms!

More info about travel to Normandy: Along the 75 miles of Atlantic coast you'll find countless memories of the largest military operation in history. It was on these beautiful beaches at the crack of dawn Jun 6, 1944 that the allies finally gained a foot-hold in France and Nazi Europe began to crumble.
