Explore the courageous contribution of Canadian forces during the Normandy invasion on this private full-day tour from Bayeux and its surroundings, visiting key battlefields, memorials and remembrance sites.
Begin with pick-up at your hotel, accommodation or train station in Bayeux, where you meet your English-speaking driver-guide and review the day’s Canada-focused itinerary.
Start at Varaville and the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion memorial, continue to Hill 67, an important observation point during the Battle of Normandy, then visit the Abbey d’Ardenne, where Canadian prisoners of war were executed.
Travel through villages such as Authie, Buron and Colomby-Anguerny to discover local memorials, plaques and churches that honour the actions and sacrifices of Canadian troops inland from Juno Beach.
Pause in Courseulles-sur-Mer for lunch at your own expense, with time to enjoy the harbour and coastline where Canadian troops came ashore on D-Day.
In the afternoon, visit the Juno Beach Centre, Canada’s museum on the D-Day beaches, with interactive exhibits, films and bunker remains, then continue to the Maison des Canadiens (Canada House), one of the first homes liberated on 6 June 1944.
End the day at Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery, final resting place of more than 2,000 Canadian servicemen, where you can walk among the headstones and reflect on the human cost of the Battle of Normandy.
