Canadian Juno Beach Private Tour in Normandy
Discover the Canadian story of D-Day on a private journey through the Juno Beach sector. On 6 June 1944, Canadian forces landed on the Normandy coast and advanced inland in one of the defining operations of the Allied invasion. This itinerary focuses on remembrance, historical context and time to experience the places where those events unfolded.
This Canadian sector sits between the American beaches described on ourAmerican D-Day Private Tour Normandypage and the two beaches covered by ourBritish D-Day Beaches Private Tour Normandypage.
Suggested itinerary
Start at Courseulles-sur-Mer and Juno Beach, where Canadian troops came ashore. Continue to the Juno Beach Centre, an essential stop for visitors wishing to understand Canada's contribution to the Second World War. Visit the Maison des Canadiens at Bernières-sur-Mer, an emblematic landmark of the landings, and pay your respects at Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery. Depending on your interests, schedule and site opening hours, we can adapt the sequence and time spent at each stop.
