Canadian Normandy D-Day Tour Itinerary
Upon arriving in Bayeux, you’ll meet your guide in the rail station. Then it is off to the Canadian sectors of the D-Day landing beaches for a guided tour. Transportation is provided in an air-conditioned vehicle. 8 persons maximum per tour.
The Canadian Normandy D-Day Tour includes a visit to the following important D-Day sites:
Bernières-sur-Mer – The tiny village of Bernières-sur-Mer was liberated street by street in heavy hand to hand fighting on June 6, 1944 by the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada unit.
Juno Beach – The main landing area where Canadian troops embarked in Normandy.
Juno Beach Centre in Courseulles-sur-Mer – Dedicated on June 6, 2003, the Juno Beach Centre in Courseulles is the most important stop on our Canadian Normandy d-day Tour. The center reflects the passionate vision of Canadian D-Day veteran Garth Webb. Mr. Webb wanted the sacrifice of Canadians in France to be commemorated and celebrated at the Centre.
Canadian Cemetery in Bény-sur-Mer/Reviers – Canadian soldiers who died on D-day and the ensuing months are buried at the Canadian Cemetery at Bény-sur-Mer. Over 2,000 men lie buried here. The land is a permanent concession from the French government to Canada.
A guided visit of Abbaye d’Ardenne – The Abbaye d’Ardenne is the solemn site of the execution of over 160 Canadian troops on June 6 and 7, 1944. The soldiers were captured by the Germans then interrogated and, contravening the Geneva Conventions, shot rather than held prisoner.
