Insight Vacations' Honours the 70th Anniversary D-Day Landings

Insight Vacations, the world leader of the art of touring in style, honours the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings with its Country Roads itinerary, the 8 Day 'Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley', and it's 4-day 'WW1 Battlefields' Mini-Trip. With June 6 marking the official 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings, travellers have the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of a significant moment in time that changed the course of history.

“Travelling with Insight Vacations on our Country Roads itinerary, guests will view the best coverage of the landing beaches, alongside stops in St Malo, Mont St Michel, Honfleur, Chartres and Paris plus stay in the amazing 5-star Chateau de Rochecotte in the Loire Valley,” says Insight Vacations Regional Director for Asia, Sheryl Lim. “We also have space on our WW1 extension tour. Both are historic escorted journeys and are a significant experience for any traveller interested in the epic periods of 20th century history.”

The D-Day escorted tour which begins and ends in Paris covers the path of the entire D-Day history. Investigate Normandy's role in two invasions that changed the course of history, one in 1066 and the other in 1944. There are also visits to the beautiful city of St. Malo, the châteaux of the Loire and the city of lights, Paris. Travelling days are filled with momentous sites, quaint country towns and plenty of photo opportunities with free time in the Loire Valley.

The 4-day WW1 extension tour, to and from Paris is an emotive and poignant journey through the countryside of northern France that's dotted with war cemeteries and memorials. Visit the reconstructed trench systems amidst the craters of Vimy Ridge and stop at the Memorial of Fromelles.

Capacities for departures until October 2014 are still available for both itineraries.
