Depart on an overnight flight to Paris from Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. Dinner and breakfast will be served on the flight.

Day 3April 23, 2026
LISIEUX – NORMANDY BEACHES
+

Following a morning in Lisieux, where we have time to visit the places associated with the life of St. Bernadette, we drive through the beautiful French countryside toward the Normandy Beaches. The 54 miles of Atlantic stretching from Utah Beach in the west to Sword Beach in the east are littered with WWII museums, monuments, cemeteries, and battle remains left in tribute to the courage of the British, Canadian, and American armies that successfully carried out the largest military operation in history: D-Day. On these serene beaches, at the crack of dawn on June 6, 1944, the Allies finally gained a foothold in France; from this moment, Nazi Europe was destined to crumble. We drive through beautiful Normandy scenery toward Omaha Beach, where we see the American Memorial and Cemetery. We celebrate Mass at the chapel at Omaha Beach and remember our brave, fallen soldiers. Return to Lisieux for dinner and overnight.
