Day 5: Monday, July 5th, 2027 - Normandy Region

Visit the Juno Beach Centre

Visit the Juno Beach Centre, the first memorial of its kind for Canadian veterans of WWII. The Centre was conceptualized by Canadian veterans who fought in the June 6, 1944 D-Day invasion of Normandy and stands at Courseulles-sur-Mer, the site of the invasion. The Centre is an educational facility designed to teach Canadians more about Canada’s role in the war, whether on land, sea or air.

Visit the Longues-sur-Mer Battery

West of Arromanchesyou find Longues-sur-Mer, a valuable position to hold during wartime as it looked over the water from atop very high cliffs. Understandably the Germans set up defenses here and installed a four 150 mm guns battery. On D-Day, the Battery saw intense action.
