DELRAY BEACH, FL, June 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today marks 70 years since the D-Day invasion -
the greatest amphibious landing in history that began the demise of
Nazi Europe. While the celebrated anniversary is June 6, Insight Vacations offers
an outstanding tour of "Normandy,
Brittany & the Loire Valley" that
commemorates the courageous American, Canadian and British
soldiers while reliving history throughout the year.
D-Day remains history's largest seaborne invasion and stood as the
beginning of the invasion of German-occupied western Europe.
Planning for the operation began in 1943 and consisted of a
comprehensive military deception procedure; its success in
misleading the Germans was arguably the key to the Allied forces'
eventual WWII victory.
Visit the Normandy Beaches Allied Landing Sites,
Omaha Beach, and the American Cemetery at
Colleville-sur-Mer--a poignant reminder of the Allied
forces' hard fight for freedom. With two nights in
Normandy, you'll enjoy a leisurely and
comprehensive visit to the beaches, including the
Landing Museum at Arromanches and the famous
Pointe du Hoc. You'll also have plenty of time to
learn the history of the Norman invasion of 1066--another historic
event that forever altered world history.
This comprehensive tour also features two evenings in
Paris and two nights in the stunning Loire
Valley, considered France's "Garden of England." Revel in
the Valley's spectacular châteaux and enjoy a lavish evening in one
of Insight's finest Signature hotels: the
Château de Rochecotte. This remarkable
18th-century mansion has hosted numerous illustrious
political, literary and aristocratic figures, including King George
IV and Queen Elizabeth II.
This Insight Vacation is ripe with Signature
Experiences, including a regional wine
tasting in Samur with a local wine expert, a visit to the
graceful 15th-century castle of
Azay-Le-Rideau, and the exquisite castle and
gardens of Château De Villandry - considered the
"Jewel of the Loire."
