Upon arrival, you will step onto the sands of Juno Beach, where 14,000 Canadian troops landed under intense fire. Your guide will explain how the landings unfolded, the strategic importance of this sector, and the challenges Canadian forces faced as they pushed inland.

Next, you’ll visit the Juno Beach Centre, a museum detailing Canada’s role in the Normandy invasion through interactive exhibits and personal testimonies. Afterward, an official Juno Beach Centre guide will lead you inside two original German bunkers, normally closed to the public.

A short walk from the landing site, you’ll visit Canada House, believed to be the first home liberated by Allied troops on D-Day. Your guide will share stories of the soldiers who fought here and explain how this house, still privately owned, became a symbol of the liberation. For lunch, the guide will take you to a nearby restaurant offering local specialties at reasonable prices.

Here, more than 2,000 Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in the Battle of Normandy are laid to rest. You will get to know personal stories of some of these men, offering a moving tribute to their bravery and sacrifice. The peaceful setting of the cemetery provides a moment for reflection and remembrance. For lunch, there will be a one-hour stop at a top-rated Poziere restaurant, or you may bring your own.

Then, you’ll visit Hell’s Corner, the furthest inland point reached by Canadian forces on D-Day, located just 5 miles from Caen. Despite their success at the beach, Canadian troops encountered fierce German resistance as they pushed forward.

Your final stop is Ardenne Abbey, the site of one of the war’s darkest atrocities where 20 Canadian soldiers were taken prisoner and executed by the SS Hitler Youth Division in direct violation of the Geneva Convention.
