Your experience

Step back in time

Journey through history on this intimate full-day guided tour from Paris, uncovering the gripping stories of WWII Canadian battlefields and landing beaches. Travel in a luxury air-conditioned minibus and set foot on the storied sands of Juno Beach, where Canadian troops bravely fought for the liberation of France.

Your trip begins near the Arc de Triomphe, with a scenic two-hour drive through the picturesque French countryside to Normandy. Upon arrival, walk the very shores of Juno Beach, where history was made. Visit Canada House, famously known as the first house liberated by Allied troops, and step inside original German bunkers, once part of the formidable Atlantic Wall.

A tribute to bravery

Explore the Juno Beach Center, a museum offering deep insights into Canada's pivotal role in the Normandy invasion. Enjoy an exclusive chance to enter two original German bunkers, usually closed to the public, for a rare, firsthand look at history.

After lunch, pay your respects at the Canadian Cemetery in Bény-sur-Mer, a solemn resting place for those who gave everything. Continue to Hell’s Corner, the furthest point reached by Canadian troops on D-Day, before concluding with a moving visit to Ardenne Abbey, where Canadian soldiers were unjustly executed in 1944.
