Jeep tour of the D-Day Landing Beaches

Alain offers you a Jeep tour of the D-Day landing beaches. Climb aboard an authentic Jeep from the Second World War.

Guided tour by enthusiasts An immersive journey to the heart of history in a vintage Jeep.
Relive the emotion of D-Day like nowhere else. Alain, from the association “Les Compagnons d’Irène”, based in Bernières-sur-Mer, is offering you a total immersion in the legendary Willys Jeep. Much more than a simple visit, this is a real epic journey through time in the historic sectors of the Côte de Nacre.

An authentic adventure in the footsteps of the Liberators
Climb aboard these mechanical icons of the Second World War to explore the major D-Day sites (Juno, Sword, Omaha Beach). These guided excursions are led by local scholars who enthusiastically share the stories and anecdotes that shaped Operation Overlord.

A passion for military heritage
Why this name? Irène pays tribute to a heroic nurse from the famous Leclerc Division (2nd DB). Behind this initiative is the Beunèche family: Alain, Josette and their son. These true craftsmen of memory restore an impressive collection of vehicles from the 1940s (Dodge, GMC, Jeeps) themselves, with the precision of a goldsmith (mechanics, welding, electricity).

– Did you know that? The association also runs the “Un Été 44” museum in Verneuil-sur-Avre, a must-see for lovers of vintage equipment.
