Retrace the footsteps of the Canadian troops who fought for the liberation of France on this small group day trip to Juno Beach and the D-Day sites of Normandy.
On June 6th, 1944 the largest seaborne invasion ever attempted in history took place. The Allied troops waged an extremely difficult attack on the German forces who were entrenched in bunkers along the coast of Normandy.
More than 14,000 Canadian soldiers landed or parachuted into France on that day. Though the soldiers knew that they were fighting against the odds they carried on with courage and helped to win the battle for Normandy.
During this insightful tour, you will take a guided journey through many of the historical landmarks that are pivotal to this moment in history.
Take a walk on Juno Beach, just like the Canadian troops did in 1944, you can walk on the same sand they did on that very day.
