Rare Hlitner Posted July 10, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2012 We are considering a cruise that stops in Honfleur. Can we tour the Normandy beaches from that port? Absolutely, but you will either need to book a tour or rent a car. It is about a 1 1/2 hour drive to Omaha Beach and the American Cemetary (used for the opening shots in "Saving Private Ryan").

Rare John Bull Posted July 10, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Honfleur is about 30 minutes closer to the D-Day beaches than they are from Le Havre. About an hour from the nearest point (Pegasus Bridge, between Caen & Ouistreham) & as Hank's post about 90 minutes from Omaha Beach/American cemetery at Colleville-sur-mer, which is the major sight for US visitors. Those times via the main A13, add mebbe 20 - 30 mins via the more attractive coast road thro' Trouville/Deauville. Public transport isn't an option - a tour or car/driver or self-drive car JB :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
