⚠ Limited Availability — June 6, 2026

Private transfers for June 6 sell out months in advance. The 82nd Anniversary of D-Day will draw tens of thousands of visitors from around the world. Mercedes V-Class vehicles and English-speaking chauffeurs are in extremely high demand. If you are planning to attend, contact MickeyCabs now to secure your transfer before availability runs out.

The 82nd Anniversary — Why 2026 Matters

There is a quiet truth that every family who has ever stood before a white marble cross at Colleville-sur-Mer already knows: time is running out.

In 2026, the youngest veterans of the Normandy landings will be 100 years old. Most who stormed the beaches on June 6, 1944 were between 18 and 25 years of age. Those who survive today are between 99 and 105. The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that fewer than 800 American WWII veterans remain alive, and that number drops with every passing week.

The 82nd Anniversary is not just another ceremony. For many families, it represents the last realistic opportunity to bring a veteran father, grandfather, or great-grandfather back to the soil where he fought — where his friends fell — where the free world was won. Even for those whose veterans have already passed, 2026 may be the last year when the generation that knew those men, the sons and daughters who grew up hearing their stories at kitchen tables across America, are able to make the journey themselves.

Consider what this anniversary will witness. On June 3, 2026, Delta Air Lines will once again operate its Legacy Flight — a specially chartered aircraft carrying surviving veterans and their families from the United States directly to France. The plane will be met on the tarmac with full military honors. For those veterans strong enough to travel, this may well be their final transatlantic crossing. The emotion aboard that aircraft, and in the terminal at Charles de Gaulle, is something that anyone who has seen it will never forget.

Throughout the first week of June, the towns and villages of Normandy will transform. In Sainte-Mère-Église, where the 82nd Airborne descended from the skies in the darkness of June 5, the church steeple will once again bear the effigy of Private John Steele, whose parachute caught on the spire. In Carentan, in Bayeux, in the tiny hamlets along the coast, French families will hang American flags from their windows — as they have done every year since 1944 — because in Normandy, they do not forget.

And on the morning of June 6 itself, at 11 AM, at the Normandy American Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach, the world will pause. The ceremony there is not a spectacle. It is not a parade. It is a solemn, profoundly moving act of remembrance attended by heads of state, military leaders, and — most importantly — the families who carry this history in their blood.

If your family has a connection to D-Day, to Normandy, to the men who served in the 1st Infantry Division, the 29th Infantry Division, the 2nd Ranger Battalion, the 82nd or 101st Airborne, or any of the units that fought and bled on French soil — then 2026 is calling you. This is not a trip you postpone.

MickeyCabs exists to make that journey as seamless, as comfortable, and as dignified as the occasion demands. From the moment you land in France to the moment you stand before the grave of your hero, we are with you.

"My grandfather landed on Omaha Beach with the 29th Infantry Division on June 6, 1944. He never talked about it. Not once. When he passed in 2019, we found a box under his bed — his dog tags, a folded French flag, and a photograph of a farmhouse in Vierville-sur-Mer. Last year, my mother and I flew to Paris and MickeyCabs drove us to that exact spot. The farmhouse is still there. The family who lives in it knew American soldiers had sheltered there in 1944. They wept when we showed them the photograph. Our driver waited for us, as long as we needed. He understood. That day changed my mother's life. It changed mine too."

Official D-Day Festival Normandy 2026 Calendar

The D-Day Festival is not a single day. It is a two-and-a-half-week commemoration that unfolds across the entire Normandy coast, from Sword Beach in the east to Utah Beach in the west. Hundreds of events — ceremonies, concerts, parades, reenactments, memorial services, and exhibitions — take place in dozens of towns and villages. Below is the essential calendar for 2026.

May 30 – June 5: Pre-Ceremony Events

The festival opens with a series of preparatory events that set the emotional and historical tone for the week ahead. Towns across the landing zone begin flying Allied flags. Memorial plaques are cleaned, wreaths are laid at smaller monuments, and local museums extend their hours. Veterans and their families begin arriving from around the world.

  • May 30 – June 2: Opening ceremonies in Carentan, Sainte-Mère-Église, and Arromanches. Exhibitions of wartime vehicles and equipment. Community remembrance events in village squares.
  • June 3 — Delta Legacy Flight: A chartered Delta Air Lines flight carrying surviving WWII veterans and Gold Star families departs from the United States and arrives at Charles de Gaulle Airport. The aircraft is met with military honors on the tarmac. This is one of the most emotional moments of the entire festival. MickeyCabs can collect your family at CDG and transport you to Normandy the same day the Legacy Flight arrives.
  • June 4: Commemoration of the airborne operations that preceded the beach landings. Night drops and reenactments near Sainte-Mère-Église. Candlelight vigils at key sites.
  • June 5 — The Grand Parade: One of the most spectacular events of the festival. A convoy of more than 150 restored WWII military vehicles — jeeps, half-tracks, deuce-and-a-halfs, armored cars — drives the coastal road from Sword Beach to Gold Beach. The route passes through Ouistreham, Lion-sur-Mer, Luc-sur-Mer, and Courseulles-sur-Mer. Thousands of spectators line the road. Veterans ride in open vehicles and are applauded, saluted, and embraced by French civilians. It is an extraordinary sight.

June 6 — The Day

This is the heart of it all. June 6, 2026 — the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day.

  • American Cemetery, Colleville-sur-Mer — 11:00 AM: The principal international ceremony. Heads of state, military leaders, veterans, and families gather among the 9,387 white crosses and Stars of David. The ceremony includes speeches, a military flyover, the playing of Taps, and a moment of silence that is felt in the marrow of every person present. Pre-registration through the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) is required.
  • 82nd Airborne Division Commemorations: Events at Sainte-Mère-Église and the surrounding drop zones honoring the paratroopers who jumped into darkness hours before the beach assault. Parachute demonstrations recreate the original drops.
  • 90th Infantry Division Memorial: Ceremonies at the sites where the 90th Infantry — the "Tough Ombres" — fought through the hedgerows of the bocage country south of Utah Beach.
  • 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment: Dedicated memorial events for the 507th PIR, whose paratroopers were scattered across the flooded marshes behind Utah Beach on the night of June 5-6, 1944. Many drowned under the weight of their equipment in water that was only waist-deep.
  • Evening — Concerts and Tributes: As the sun sets over the English Channel, concerts and candlelight tributes take place along the beaches. In many towns, residents place luminaries — small candles in paper bags — along the waterline, one for each soldier who fell on that stretch of coast. The effect, in the gathering darkness, is overwhelming.

June 7 – June 14: Continuing Tributes

The festival does not end on June 6. For the following week, events continue across Normandy. These include memorial services at the British, Canadian, and German cemeteries; guided battlefield walks led by historians; exhibitions of personal artifacts; film screenings; and community gatherings that bring together French citizens and the families of the liberators. For many visitors, the days after June 6 are the most personal and meaningful — when the crowds thin and you can stand alone on Omaha Beach at sunrise, or sit quietly in the American Cemetery as the afternoon light falls across the headstones.

5 Sacred Sites Every American Family Must Visit

The Normandy coast stretches roughly 80 kilometers from Sword Beach in the east to Utah Beach in the west. Within that span lie dozens of monuments, museums, and memorials. But five sites stand apart — places where the weight of history is so heavy, so immediate, that even the most composed visitor is moved to silence. A MickeyCabs chauffeur will drive you between all five in a single day if you wish, though we often recommend allowing two full days to give each site the time it deserves.

1. Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial — Colleville-sur-Mer

Overlooking Omaha Beach from a bluff 170 feet above the sea, the Normandy American Cemetery is the resting place of 9,387 American service members. The cemetery covers 172.5 acres of land that France granted to the United States in perpetuity — this ground is, legally and spiritually, American soil.

The headstones are arranged in perfect arcs of white Lasa marble, each one a Latin cross or Star of David. Among them are the graves of 33 pairs of brothers buried side by side, a father and son, and 307 unknowns whose stones bear only the inscription "Here Rests in Honored Glory a Comrade in Arms Known but to God." The Walls of the Missing list 1,557 names of Americans whose remains were never recovered.

The visitor center, designed to be entered in darkness and exited into light, tells individual stories of the men buried here. It is deliberately understated, refusing spectacle in favor of intimacy. Many visitors spend two to three hours here and say it was not enough.

If you have a relative buried at Colleville, the ABMC can help you locate the exact grave before your visit. MickeyCabs will ensure you arrive with time to find it, to stand before it, and to have whatever private moment you need.

2. Omaha Beach

Omaha was the deadliest of the five landing beaches. On the morning of June 6, 1944, more than 2,000 Americans were killed, wounded, or went missing in the first hours of the assault. The beach is a long, flat crescent of sand backed by steep bluffs that the German defenders had fortified with bunkers, mines, barbed wire, and interlocking fields of machine-gun fire.

Today, Omaha Beach is peaceful. Children build sandcastles where men once bled. The tide comes in over the same sand that was red on that morning 82 years ago. At the western end of the beach, near the Vierville draw, a monument marks the spot where the first waves of the 29th Infantry Division came ashore under devastating fire. The draw itself — a natural gap in the bluffs — was one of the primary exits from the beach, and taking it cost hundreds of lives.

Walking the full length of Omaha Beach takes about 45 minutes. We recommend doing so. The scale of the assault becomes real only when you stand at one end and look to the other, and try to imagine 34,000 men coming ashore here in a single day.

3. Pointe du Hoc

Between Omaha and Utah Beaches, a jagged promontory rises 30 meters (100 feet) straight out of the sea. On June 6, 1944, 225 Rangers of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel James Earl Rudder, scaled these cliffs under fire using rope ladders and grappling hooks.

Their mission was to destroy a battery of six 155mm guns that the Germans had positioned atop the point — guns capable of reaching both Omaha and Utah Beaches. The Rangers reached the top only to discover the guns had been moved. They fought inland, found the guns in a camouflaged position, and destroyed them. By the end of two days of fighting, only 90 of the original 225 Rangers were still able to fight.

The landscape at Pointe du Hoc has been deliberately preserved as it was. The massive bomb craters from the pre-invasion naval and aerial bombardment still pit the ground. The shattered concrete bunkers remain. You can walk to the edge of the cliff and look down at the rocks and surf below, and you will understand — in your body, not just your mind — what those 225 men did.

4. Sainte-Mère-Église — The 82nd Airborne

In the early hours of June 6, before the first landing craft hit the beaches, the paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division dropped from the sky over the town of Sainte-Mère-Église. It was the first town in France to be liberated.

The most famous story from that night belongs to Private John Steele, whose parachute became entangled on the church steeple. He hung there for two hours, feigning death, while a battle raged in the streets below. Today, a mannequin with a parachute hangs from the steeple in his memory — it has been there for decades and has become one of the most photographed images in Normandy.

The Airborne Museum, housed in three buildings including a restored Waco glider, tells the story of the airborne operations in vivid detail. The town square still bears the name Place du 6 Juin, and the people of Sainte-Mère-Église remain some of the most welcoming and emotionally connected to the American liberation of any community in France.

5. Utah Beach

Utah Beach is sometimes overlooked by visitors who go only to Omaha, but it deserves its own pilgrimage. The landings at Utah were comparatively less costly — the beach was less heavily defended, and navigational errors actually placed the first waves in a better position than planned — but the fighting inland, through the flooded marshes and hedgerow country, was savage.

The Utah Beach Museum sits directly on the sand, in the very spot where American troops came ashore. It is one of the best D-Day museums in Normandy: accessible, well-curated, and deeply human. For families with children, Utah is often the most manageable first stop — the beach is wide, the museum is engaging, and the emotional intensity, while real, is gentler than at Omaha or Pointe du Hoc.

MickeyCabs can build an itinerary that includes all five sites in the order that makes the most sense for your family — whether you want to begin with the most powerful and work outward, or build toward Omaha and the American Cemetery as the emotional summit of your day.

4 Transfer Services for D-Day Normandy 2026

Every family's journey to Normandy is different. Some arrive at CDG on a morning flight and want to go directly to the beaches. Others are already in Paris and want a full-day excursion. Some need a multi-day package with a dedicated driver for the entire festival. MickeyCabs offers four core transfer services — each one fully customizable, each one quoted individually via WhatsApp.

Service 1: One-Way Airport Transfer

Your chauffeur meets you at arrivals — CDG, Orly, or Beauvais — holding a name board with your family's name. He loads your luggage into the Mercedes V-Class, offers you cold water, and drives you directly to your hotel in Normandy or to your first D-Day site. No Paris traffic. No metro with suitcases. No rental car confusion. Door-to-door comfort from the moment you land.

This service also works in reverse: from your Normandy hotel to any Paris airport for your departure flight.

Get a Quote — One-Way Airport Transfer

Service 2: Same-Day Round Trip from Paris

For families based in Paris who want to visit the D-Day sites and return the same evening, this is the most popular option. A typical itinerary:

  • 5:30 AM — Pickup from your Paris hotel or apartment
  • 8:15 AM — Arrive at Pointe du Hoc (before the crowds)
  • 9:30 AM — Omaha Beach and the Vierville draw
  • 10:30 AM — Normandy American Cemetery, Colleville-sur-Mer
  • 12:30 PM — Lunch in Bayeux (your chauffeur knows the best restaurants)
  • 2:00 PM — Sainte-Mère-Église and the Airborne Museum
  • 4:00 PM — Utah Beach Museum
  • 5:30 PM — Depart Normandy for Paris
  • ~9:00 PM — Arrive back at your Paris accommodation

This itinerary is fully flexible. Want to spend an extra hour at the American Cemetery? Done. Want to skip a site and linger somewhere that moves you? Your chauffeur adapts. This is your day.

Service 3: Full-Day Chauffeur (8–10 Hours)

If you are already staying in Normandy — in Bayeux, Caen, or one of the coastal towns — and want a dedicated chauffeur for an entire day of site visits, this service gives you 8 to 10 hours with your driver. He picks you up at your hotel in the morning and returns you in the evening, having taken you to every site on your list at your own pace.

This is ideal for families who want to go deeper — visiting not just the five main sites but also the lesser-known monuments: the German cemetery at La Cambe, the Longues-sur-Mer battery, the Pegasus Bridge museum, or the memorial at the church in Angoville-au-Plain where two American medics treated wounded soldiers from both sides during the battle.

Get a Quote — Full-Day Chauffeur

Service 4: Multi-Day Package (3–7 Days)

For the complete D-Day Festival experience, MickeyCabs offers multi-day packages of 3 to 7 days with the same dedicated chauffeur throughout. Your driver picks you up from your airport, takes you to your Normandy hotel, and is at your disposal every day for the duration of the festival.

Multi-day packages include hotel coordination — we can recommend accommodations in Bayeux, Caen, or along the coast that are suited to your family's needs. Your chauffeur coordinates your schedule with the official festival events calendar so you never miss a ceremony, a parade, or a moment that matters to you.

This is the service we most recommend for families bringing elderly veterans. The pace can be as gentle as needed. Rest days can be built in. The driver becomes a familiar, trusted presence — not a stranger each morning but someone who knows your family, your story, and what this journey means to you.

How to Get to Normandy from Every Paris Airport and Location

One of the most common questions we receive from American families is: "Where should I fly into?" The answer depends on your airline and your plans, but MickeyCabs picks up from every Paris airport and most Paris locations. Here is what you need to know.

Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) — ~3h15 to Normandy

CDG is where most transatlantic flights from the United States arrive. Delta, United, American Airlines, and Air France all operate direct flights from major US cities to CDG. If you are on the Delta Legacy Flight on June 3, CDG is where you will land.

From CDG, MickeyCabs takes you northwest through the Île-de-France, bypassing central Paris entirely, and onto the A13 motorway toward Caen and the Normandy coast. Total drive time is approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Your chauffeur monitors your flight in real time — if your plane is delayed, he adjusts. No stress, no rush.

Orly Airport (ORY) — ~3h05 to Normandy

Orly handles some European connections and a smaller number of transatlantic flights. It is located south of Paris, so the drive to Normandy skirts the city on the A86 and A13. Drive time is approximately 3 hours and 5 minutes. If you are connecting through a European hub — Lisbon, Madrid, Rome — you may land at Orly.

Beauvais-Tillé Airport (BVA) — ~2h30 to Normandy

Beauvais is the closest Paris-area airport to Normandy, located north of the city. It is used primarily by low-cost carriers like Ryanair and Wizz Air. If you are flying from the UK or another European city on a budget airline, Beauvais may be your arrival point. The drive to the Normandy beaches takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes — the shortest of any Paris airport.

Paris Train Stations (Gare Saint-Lazare)

If you are already in Paris, the most common starting point for a Normandy day trip is your hotel. MickeyCabs picks you up at your door. However, for reference: SNCF trains to Caen and Bayeux depart from Gare Saint-Lazare and take about 2 hours — but from Caen or Bayeux station, you still need transportation to the beaches, which are 20-40 minutes away by car. A private transfer eliminates this complication entirely.

Paris Hotels and Disneyland Paris

We pick up from any address in the Paris region. Whether you are staying in the Marais, near the Eiffel Tower, in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, or at a Disneyland Paris hotel in Marne-la-Vallée, MickeyCabs comes to your door. The drive from Disneyland Paris to the Normandy beaches is approximately 3 hours.

Many American families plan a trip that combines Disneyland Paris for the children with a D-Day pilgrimage for the family. We make that transition seamless — one call, one quote, one driver who understands both halves of your journey.

12 Essential Tips for Your D-Day Normandy 2026 Visit

We have driven hundreds of families to the D-Day beaches. Here is everything we wish every visitor knew before they came.

  1. Book your transfer weeks ahead. Private chauffeur services for June 6 sell out fast. Mercedes vehicles and English-speaking drivers are finite. Contact MickeyCabs as early as possible — four to six weeks minimum, earlier if you can.
  2. Depart Paris by 5:00 AM on June 6. The ceremony at the American Cemetery begins at 11:00 AM, but gates open early and security checks take time. To guarantee a good position and a smooth arrival, leave Paris no later than 5:00 AM. MickeyCabs chauffeurs are fully prepared for pre-dawn pickups.
  3. Pre-register with the ABMC for the June 6 ceremony. The main ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery requires advance registration through the American Battle Monuments Commission website. Do this as soon as registration opens — capacity is limited and fills quickly.
  4. Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes. You will walk on sand, grass, gravel, and uneven terrain. Omaha Beach is sandy but long. Pointe du Hoc is rough and cratered. The cemetery paths are paved but extensive. Leave the dress shoes at the hotel.
  5. Dress in layers. Normandy in early June is unpredictable. Mornings can be cool (10-12°C / 50-54°F), afternoons mild (18-22°C / 64-72°F), and rain can arrive without warning. A light waterproof jacket is essential. The beaches are exposed and can be windy.
  6. Bring a small American flag or flowers. If you are visiting the grave of a relative or a fallen hero, it is customary to leave a small American flag, a flower, or a personal token at the headstone. The ABMC provides flags at the visitor center, but bringing your own feels more meaningful. French visitors also leave flowers — this is a shared act of gratitude.
  7. Carry euros in cash. While most restaurants and museums accept credit cards, some smaller villages, roadside memorials, and market vendors are cash-only. ATMs are available in Bayeux and Caen. Having a little cash avoids any inconvenience.
  8. Allow emotional space. This is not a normal tourist trip. Many visitors — including those who did not expect to be affected — find themselves overwhelmed at the American Cemetery or on Omaha Beach. Allow time in your itinerary for silence, for reflection, for tears if they come. Your MickeyCabs chauffeur understands this and will never rush you. If you need to sit in the vehicle and compose yourself before the next stop, that is perfectly fine.
  9. Stay 2-3 nights in Normandy if possible. A single day trip from Paris is meaningful but exhausting. If your schedule allows, staying in Bayeux, Caen, or one of the small coastal hotels lets you experience the sites without time pressure. Dawn on Omaha Beach. Sunset at the American Cemetery. These quiet moments, away from the crowds, are often the ones families remember most.
  10. If bringing a veteran, contact MickeyCabs early. Traveling with an elderly veteran requires special planning — vehicle accessibility, frequent stops, coordination with ceremony organizers, and sometimes medical considerations. The earlier you contact us, the better we can prepare to give your veteran the journey he has earned.
  11. Photograph respectfully. The American Cemetery, Omaha Beach, and Pointe du Hoc are places of profound significance. Photography is permitted and encouraged — these images will mean everything to your family for generations. But be mindful. Do not pose casually with headstones. Do not use flash during ceremonies. Do not fly drones (they are prohibited at ABMC sites). Approach every photograph as an act of remembrance, not tourism.
  12. Save the MickeyCabs WhatsApp number before you fly. Add +33 6 12 92 33 07 to your phone contacts before you leave the United States. WhatsApp works on international Wi-Fi and data. If your plans change, if your flight is delayed, if you need to adjust your itinerary while already in France — a WhatsApp message is the fastest way to reach us. We reply within two hours, usually much sooner.

Special Recognition for WWII Veterans and Their Families

To every American family making the journey to Normandy in honor of a veteran — whether that veteran is traveling with you or lives only in your memory — MickeyCabs wants you to know that we regard this as the most meaningful work we do.

Our commitment to veterans and their families includes:

  • Priority booking. Veteran families receive first priority for June 6 availability. When you contact us, mention your veteran's service and we will move your request to the front of the queue.
  • A patient, respectful chauffeur. Our drivers are selected for their character as much as their skill. When driving a 100-year-old veteran and his family, the chauffeur adjusts the pace entirely to the veteran's comfort. If he wants to stop at a field he remembers, we stop. If he needs to rest, we wait. If he wants to talk — or if he cannot — we understand.
  • Mercedes V-Class easy access. The V-Class offers a low step-in height, wide sliding doors, and ample interior space. It accommodates wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility aids. Climate control keeps the cabin at a comfortable temperature regardless of outside conditions.
  • Comfort stops as needed. The drive from Paris to Normandy includes a rest stop at approximately the halfway point. For elderly passengers, we can make additional stops — as many as needed, no questions asked.
  • Grave location assistance. If your family wishes to visit a specific grave at the American Cemetery, we can help you coordinate with the ABMC in advance to locate the exact headstone. Our chauffeurs know the cemetery layout and can guide you directly to the right section.
  • ABMC ceremony coordination. We stay informed of all ceremony schedules, security requirements, and access logistics for June 6. We ensure you arrive at the right gate, at the right time, with the right credentials.
  • Special pricing. Verified WWII veterans and their direct descendants receive special pricing for all MickeyCabs Normandy services. Contact us on WhatsApp for details.

Combine D-Day with More of France

Many American families visiting Normandy for D-Day 2026 are making a once-in-a-lifetime trip to France. It makes sense to see more. MickeyCabs can build a multi-destination itinerary that includes the D-Day beaches alongside other unforgettable experiences.

Paris + Normandy + Disneyland Paris (7–10 Days)

This is the most popular combination for American families traveling with children. Spend 3-4 days in Paris exploring the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Montmartre, and the Seine. Take a MickeyCabs transfer to Normandy for 2-3 days of D-Day sites and ceremonies. Then end your trip with 2-3 days at Disneyland Paris — a joyful counterpoint to the solemnity of the beaches. Your MickeyCabs chauffeur handles every transfer between destinations.

Bayeux and the Tapestry

The town of Bayeux — just 20 minutes from the D-Day beaches — is home to the Bayeux Tapestry, a 70-meter-long embroidered cloth depicting the Norman conquest of England in 1066. It is one of the most remarkable historical artifacts in Europe. Bayeux itself is a beautifully preserved medieval town with an extraordinary cathedral, excellent restaurants, and a calm that makes it the perfect base for your Normandy stay. MickeyCabs recommends Bayeux as your overnight base.

Mont-Saint-Michel

The island abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel — a UNESCO World Heritage Site rising from the tidal flats of the Normandy-Brittany border — is approximately 2 hours from the D-Day beaches. It is one of the most visited sites in France, and for good reason. The medieval architecture, the tidal dynamics, and the sheer drama of the setting are unforgettable. MickeyCabs can include Mont-Saint-Michel as a half-day addition to your Normandy itinerary or as a standalone day trip from your Normandy hotel.
