What happened on Juno Beach in June 1944 — and why you should walk it yourself

You walk Juno Beach where Canadian troops landed, explore two sealed German bunkers with a museum guide, visit the Juno Beach Center to understand the landings, and pay respects at the Canadian Cemetery and Ardenne Abbey. The small-group format (8 people max) and included transport from Paris mean you don't arrange logistics yourself — just show up and spend the day learning what happened here.

The Experience

What would it feel like to stand on the same stretch of sand where Canadian troops landed under fire 80 years ago? The Normandy D-Day tour from Paris takes you to Juno Beach, where you'll walk the actual shoreline, then step inside two German bunkers that are normally closed to the public. Your guide is official staff from the Juno Beach Center, so the history comes straight from someone who knows the ground.

The day moves through the key sites in order: first the beach itself and the famous "Canada House," the first building liberated in Normandy, then into those bunkers with their narrow corridors and gun ports still facing the water. After that you spend an hour in Courseulles-sur-Mer for lunch on your own — there are cafés right by the harbor — before heading inland to Hell's Corner, where Canadian troops pushed 5 miles from the beach before being held back. The Juno Beach Center museum sits between the beach and the cemetery, and it's the most detailed record of the Canadian landings anywhere. You'll have time to walk through it and understand what you've just seen.

The last stop is the Bény-sur-Mer Canadian Cemetery, where 2,000 soldiers are buried. It's quiet and formal, with rows of white headstones and a chapel at the far end. You'll also visit Ardenne Abbey, where 20 Canadian soldiers were executed in June 1944 by members of the Hitler Youth — the abbey stands as a memorial to them now. The minivan holds 8 people maximum, so it never feels crowded, and you're back in Paris by evening. Transport from your hotel is included, and so are all the entry fees.
