A round trip not like the others
Let yourself be led close to a German artillery position located 6 km from Utah Beach in the hamlet of Holdy in Sainte Marie du Mont, a historic center for American paratroopers. On the village square and greeted by French civilians, your guide picks you up in a 1944 Jeep Willys. At the end of the day and after that timeless moment, your driver accompanies you.

... CHILLS, EMOTIONS, SPECIAL AND ADRENALIN EFFECTS
