Tour duration: 10 hours
Daytrip in 8 seater with visits of Dunkirk, the Atlantic Wall and missile launching stations in Northern France
Over 338, 000 allied soldiers were evacuated from the hell of Dunkerque between 29 May to 4 June 1940. Operation Dynamo was the biggest evacuation operation in military history.
Do you wish to visit the city where it all happened? I will take you to Dunkerque on this tour.
Do you wish to see the German "Atlantic Wall" with huge bunkers and batteries with guns aimed at England? We visit the Todt Batterie bunker near Cap Griz Nez.
Ar you interested in the German bunkers which were built for the assembly and the launch of rockets of the type V2 for the attack of England? You will be impressed by them when you choose this tour.
