Overview

This Bastogne Tour immersive journey takes you through pivotal WWII sites to understand what the Band of Brothers' Easy Company endured during siege of Bastogne. Start with a visit to the Bastogne War Museum, a profound tribute to the events and sacrifices of the Battle of the Bulge. Then, explore the Bois Jacques battlefield, where you can still see the foxholes used by the Easy Company.

After these moving visits, enjoy a lunch break in pictoresque downtown Bastogne. The afternoon continues with a visit to the War Room where McAuliffe famously pronounced "NUTS". Ten we finish with a visit to the Bastogne Barracks, a Belgium army museum where we can see: Shermans, Panzer IV, Wolverine, Stug III, Hetzer, Heavy Howitzers, Flak guns and more.

Bois Jacques

During the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944-1945, this dense forest was occupied by the American 101st Airborne Division, specifically the renowned Easy Company. The soldiers endured harsh conditions, digging foxholes for protection against intense German artillery and mortar fire. These foxholes remain visible today, serving as poignant reminders of the soldiers' resilience and the brutal realities of war. The site has become a place of pilgrimage, allowing visitors to reflect on the sacrifices made during one of the most pivotal battles of the Second World War. A phone app is available for immersive videos showing the experience of the American soldiers during the challenging moments of the Battle of the Bulge.
