Small-Group Canadian Normandy D-Day Juno Beach from Paris – Paris, France

EXPERIENCE:

On June 6th, 1944 the largest seaborne invasion ever attempted in history took place. The Allied troops waged an extremely difficult attack on the German forces who were entrenched in bunkers along the coast of Normandy.
More than 14,000 Canadian soldiers landed or parachuted into France on that day. Though the soldiers knew that they were fighting against the odds they carried on with courage and helped to win the battle for Normandy.

During this insightful tour, you will take a guided journey through many of the historical landmarks that are pivotal to this moment in history.
Take a walk on Juno Beach, just like the Canadian troops did in 1944, you can walk on the same sand they did on that very day.
Whilst at Juno Beach, your guide will take you to see Juno Beach Center, the most comprehensive museum about the Canadian landings in Normandy.
Visit the Canadian Cemetery in Beny-sur-Mer. There, stroll through the beautiful cemetery whilst paying your respects to the fallen Canadian soldiers.
