Description
On June 6th, 1944, the largest seaborne invasion in history took place. Allied troops launched a difficult attack on German forces entrenched in bunkers along the Normandy coast.
More than 14,000 Canadian soldiers landed or parachuted into France that day. Despite overwhelming odds, they showed courage and helped secure the Battle of Normandy.
This guided tour explores key historical landmarks pivotal to that moment. Walk on Juno Beach, the very sand where Canadian troops advanced in 1944. Visit the Juno Beach Center museum, which documents the Canadian landings comprehensively.
See the Canadian Cemetery in Beny-sur-Mer and pay respects to the fallen soldiers while walking through the grounds. The tour also includes a visit to 'Hell's Corner,' the furthest inland advance of Canadian troops on D-Day, located five miles from Caen. You will also view Abbey d'Ardenne, a Nazi headquarters during the invasion.
Whether you are a dedicated military history fan or curious about the events of D-Day, this tour offers a detailed understanding of the Canadian troops’ significant acts of courage.
