What to expect

  1. Paris
    Pass by
    Let the journey begin… Embark on a scenic 2.5-hour journey to the stunning Normandy coast. Relax in our comfortable minivan as you take in breathtaking views along the way. With plenty of time to soak in the beauty of the landscape, this trip promises to be the perfect start to an memorable experience.
  2. La Maison des Canadiens
    45m
    On the seafront in Bernières-sur-Mer, the House of the Canadians is more than just a building: it is the premier symbol of Canada's commitment on June 6, 1944. You will stop in front of this historic site, where Canadian soldiers took cover from enemy fire. Although access to the interior is not always possible if closed, your guide will share poignant stories of that day, allowing you to grasp the courage of the troops who liberated Europe. An essential stop to feel the emotion and understand the decisive role of Canada at Juno Beach.
  3. Juno Beach Centre
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Step inside history at the Juno Beach Centre. Immersive exhibits, authentic artifacts and stories of bravery bring the Canadian D-Day experience to life. Your guide reveals the key moments of this historic day. A moving experience that makes your Normandy landing beaches tour truly meaningful.
  4. Arromanches-les-Bains
    1h 20m
    In Arromanches, discover the remains of the Mulberry Harbour, one of World War II’s greatest engineering feats. Prefabricated in Britain and assembled here just after D-Day, this artificial port supplied the Allied armies throughout the Battle of Normandy, and its concrete caissons are still visible offshore. Then enjoy lunch in a local restaurant overlooking the Channel (not included).
  5. Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery
    45m
    Pay your respects at the Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery, where thousands of soldiers who fell on Juno Beach now rest in peace. Walk among the rows of white crosses — each one telling a story of courage and sacrifice — and take a moment to reflect on the immense cost of freedom. A solemn and moving stop that honors the heroic role of Canada in the D-Day landings and the liberation of Europe
  6. 45m
    Step into a pivotal site of the Normandy campaign at Ardenne Abbey. This historic Benedictine abbey, with its remarkable past, stood at the heart of the battle. It served as a command post for SS officer Kurt Meyer and witnessed key, and tragic, events involving Canadian soldiers during the fight for Caen.

    Explore its peaceful cloisters and architecture as your guide shares powerful stories of bravery and resilience that unfolded within these walls. The contrast between the serene setting and the gravity of its history creates a profound experience. An essential stop that blends culture, remembrance, and reflection, adding deep historical context to your D-Day tour.
