If paying your respects during D-Day anniversary ceremonies is on your bucket list, June is the time to go on Normandy guided tours. It is unforgettable to walk in the footsteps of the brave soldiers who fought on that infamous day during the anniversary month. Just keep in mind that the summer months are also a time for people to flock to the region’s beautiful beaches to soak in the sun, so you may need to contend with bigger crowds.
If you’d still like to uncover the region’s history without the June crowds, tours of Normandy, France, that depart in the spring and fall months are for you. These quieter seasons allow for more reflective moments at Omaha and Juno Beach, and easier access to other historic sites. The winter months are the quietest, and some shops will close in the smaller villages for the season.
