The Canadian Sector: A Private 9-hour tour of D-Day Landing Beaches

Honor, History, and Heritage on the Normandy Coast

Embark on a powerful private journey through the key sites of the Canadian D-Day landings. With your expert guide providing rich historical context, you'll gain a deeper understanding of Canada's pivotal role in the liberation of Europe during World War II.

Your adventure begins as your private driver collects you from your accommodation in Bayeux. Your first stop is Juno Beach, where Canadian forces came ashore on June 6th, 1944. Here, walk in the footsteps of those brave soldiers as you explore the Juno Beach Centre, the only museum solely dedicated to Canada's military contributions during WWII. Through immersive exhibits featuring photographs, personal accounts, maps, and artifacts, the museum paints a vivid picture of the courage and sacrifice displayed on these shores. Afterward, stroll along the preserved beachfront, pausing at monuments and bunkers that still stand as silent witnesses to history.

Next, head to Courseulles-sur-Mer, a picturesque seaside town just minutes from the landing site. Enjoy a leisurely lunch break at a local restaurant, where Normandy’s culinary traditions come alive, especially the fresh oysters, mussels, and other coastal delicacies harvested from nearby waters.

In the afternoon, your journey takes on a more reflective tone with a visit to the Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery. Over 2,000 Canadian soldiers rest here, their graves marked with dignity and surrounded by peaceful gardens. As your guide leads you through the cemetery, you’ll hear stories of individual soldiers and the broader legacy they helped forge, offering a deeply personal connection to the events of D-Day.

This intimate and respectful tour is more than a history lesson, it’s a tribute to the resilience, bravery, and humanity of those who fought for freedom.
