Introduction
Early in June of 1944 the 12th SS reconnaissance battalion established its headquarters in these grounds. Here were taken over 90 Canadian soldiers who were murdered by the SS in three groups on 8th 9th and 11th June 1944.
Today, ironically, the Chateau d’Audrieu is one of the finest 4 star hotels in Normandy.
Private Transfer from London by Air
Short on timer or prefer to fly?
D-Day Airtours will take you on an insightful one-day tour by air of the landing beaches and other D-Day sites. Pick up from Central London (or other areas by arrangement) in the morning, flying to Carpiquet airport, Caen from Oxford, and return by mid-evening of the same day.
Alternatively, for an even shorter visit, take a flying tour over the area with guided commentary.
Either way your tour is delivered by a professional English guide experienced and knowledgeable in the D-Day landings.
Whether you are from America, Canada or Britain you will be provided with detailed information about your country's role in the landings.
