Arpents du Soleil Winery. The first vineyard in Normandy, nothing has been left to chance in this unbelievable adventure! The notion of "terroir" is the main theme of the guided tour. Firstly, a presentation of the former quarry introduces the site's geology. Then, at the highest point of the vineyard, soak in the surrounding countryside. A little viticulture. The visit culminates with a wine tasting and cheese pairing session in the reception room with panoramic views of the vineyard.

Omaha Beach Tour. Beginning at the location of "Longues sur Mer battery" located in the area liberated by the British landing, this tour will take you from Longues sur Mer to the infamous Omaha Beach, on to the American cemetery and then to Pointe du Hoc. The detailed story of what was the most deadly part of the liberation of Europe will be described to you in this historical tour, which will be supplemented with maps and pictures of the area.
