What to expect
Arromanches-les-Bains
15m
Arromanches-les-Bains played a vital logistical role in the D-Day landings of 1944, not 1941. It was the site of Mulberry B, one of two artificial harbours constructed by the Allies to facilitate rapid offloading of troops, vehicles, and supplies onto the beaches of Normandy. Within days of the landings, this prefabricated port allowed the unloading of thousands of tons of equipment, essential for sustaining the Allied advance into occupied France. Despite harsh weather that damaged other supply points, Mulberry B at Arromanches remained operational and was crucial to the success of the Normandy campaign. Remnants of the harbour are still visible today.
45m
Inaugurated in 2021, this memorial honors the 22,442 British soldiers who died in Normandy between 6 June and 31 August 1944. Located on the heights of the Gold sector, the memorial features a reproduction of the Union Jack flag. During our visit, we provide an introduction onboard the coach, explain the Gold Beach landings on site, and allow time for guests to explore the memorial independently.
30m
Opened in 1961, this cemetery is the final resting place of 2,049 Canadian soldiers. We guide visitors through the site and highlight the graves of several soldiers whose personal stories are known to us.
15m
A significant site of remembrance for Canadians, where 20 soldiers were executed by the 12th SS Panzer Division in the garden. The remains were discovered months later by the property owners, Mrs. Vico and her son.
