Small Group: Juno Beach Sector Afternoon Tour
Just before 8 o’clock in the morning of June 6, 1944, 21,400 soldiers (of whom 14, 000 were Canadian under the command of General Keller) landed on Juno Beach. Re-live the battles fought by the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division in the different villages between the beaches and the town of Caen. Also visit those who remain here buried in the soil of France, in the military cemeteries where these soldiers are honored.
JUNO BEACH CENTER:
The Juno Beach Center retraces the implementation of the Canadian Army during the fighting in Europe. It concentrates on the Second World War, most notably the Raid on Dieppe in August 1942, the landings up to the closure of the Falaise Pocket and the advance of the Canadian Army up through Belgium, Holland and into Germany.
COURSEULLES:
Located in the heart of Juno beach, the fishing and leisure port of Courseulles-sur-Mer was liberated by the Canadian forces in the early morning of D-Day.
