WAR TOURS
WORLD WAR I
Re-live the slaughter, the bravery, and the
devotion to duty. How did the poppy became the symbol of their
sacrifice in this bloody war? How did the war start, and why?
In which respects was this a 19th century war, and in which
respects a 20th century war? Find the answers with Frenchtours.
Cross no-man's land at Beaumont-Hamel, walk
the trenches at Vimy Ridge, listen to the moving ‘Last
Post’ bugle call at Ypres, visit the armistice clearing
where the ceasefire was on the eleventh hour of the eleventh
day of the eleventh month, 1918.

WORLD WAR II
Learn the background of how Hitler came to
power, and the subsequent subjugation of Europe under the jackboot.
Hear about the ‘forgotten’ but crucial fronts; North
Africa, Russia, Italy. Visit the Normandy Beaches, the sites
of the D-Day Landings, for an unforgettable and moving experience:
Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Point du Hoc with its massive shell
craters, the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, the German
guns and bunkers, still in place. Visit a museum with unique
wartime film footage taken by both sides of the conflict. Visit
the Gold, Sword and Juno Beaches, to include Mulberry Harbour,
Pegasus Bridge, as well as the beautiful Normandy countryside
and villages. Your tour orientated toward your interests and
background.

being our guide and showing us his wealth of knowledge on the
whole subject of Normandy’

NAPOLEON
See where Napoleon trained as an officer in
the army of King Louis XVI, then his rise to power with the
revolutionary army. Learn about his campaigns, his marriages,
his exile on Elba, his subsequent escape, and regrouping of
his armies to confront his enemies at Waterloo. After his defeat
he was exiled to the remote South Atlantic island of St. Helena,
and we can see a reconstruction of his last home there. We visit
his tomb in Paris.
