Overview

This is the only private shore excursion from Le Havre dedicated entirely to the Canadian story of D-Day — a bucket list experience for Canadian travelers and anyone who wants to understand the full Allied landing of June 6, 1944.

At Juno Beach, Canadian assault troops stormed ashore against fierce German defenses. The Juno Beach Centre tells the story of the 45,000 Canadians who lost their lives through photos, archives and first-hand accounts. Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery and Bernières-sur-Mer complete a day that honors a chapter of history most tours never cover.

Your private vehicle travels exclusively for your group, with pickup from any location in Le Havre and your return to ship fully guaranteed.

The museum always houses a temporary exhibition.Located just behind the sand dunes of Juno Beach, it is surrounded by German bunkers and beach obstacles, Canadian and Allied military equipment, monuments, sculpture, inukshuk and information signs.

Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery

Located between Beny and Reviers, inland from Juno Beach on top of the little hill that overlooks the coast, this cemetery is beautifully maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. It is the final resting place of 2.043 Canadians (as well as one French and four British soldiers) including the 359 Canadians killed on D-day.The entrance is decorated with four maples and the Stone of Remembrance. At the center of the graveyard is the Cross of Sacrifice, surrounded by the limestone headstones (all of which have recently been replaced).

Bernieres-sur-Mer

On this eastern side of Juno Beach, two other infantry regiments attacked : the Queen’s Own Rifles and the North Shore. At Bernières, where La Chaudière Regiment later landed, is located the main monument close to the famous "Canadian House" that is in so many D-Day pictures, and which still permanently flies a Canadian flag.The German resistance in this area and then the counter-attack from the south caused the slow progression inland toward Caen and stopped the troops from reaching the Carpiquet airfield.
