More than just a scenic drive, this route immerses you in the prelude to one of history's most consequential battles, offering a tangible connection to the past before you even reach the beaches.

Reflect on the courage and sacrifice displayed on June 6, 1944, as you learn about the strategic importance of this beach and the immense human cost of liberation. The landscape itself serves as a powerful memorial to the events that unfolded here.
American Cemetery and Memorial
Pay your respects at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, a place of profound tranquility and remembrance. Here, row upon row of white crosses and Stars of David mark the final resting place of over 9,000 American soldiers who died in Europe during World War II. The immaculately maintained grounds and the stunning ocean views provide a somber yet inspiring setting to honor their sacrifice. The visitor center offers further context and personal stories, deepening the emotional impact of this hallowed ground.
Arromanches-les-Bains
Enjoy a relaxing lunch in the charming seaside town of Arromanches-les-Bains, a pivotal location in the Allied invasion. Here, you'll see the remnants of the artificial harbor, codenamed 'Mulberry B,' which played a vital role in supplying the Allied forces after D-Day. Take in the picturesque coastal views, explore local cafes and restaurants, and imagine the bustling activity that once filled this harbor, supporting the liberation of Europe.
Juno Beach Center
Visit the Juno Beach Centre, dedicated to the Canadian contribution to the D-Day landings and the broader war effort. Discover the stories of the Canadian soldiers who fought bravely to overcome Nazi tyranny on Juno Beach, one of the five landing sectors.
