Your tour begins as you board your motorcoach for a scenic, two-hour drive to Courseulles sur Mer along the coast where you will visit the Canadian Juno Beach Centre and Juno Beach. Then you will arrive at Arromanches Beach for lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch you will have some free time to view the remnants of Mulberry Harbor, the artificial harbor where thousands of troops came ashore. Your tour continues with a short drive to Longues sur Mer, this battery which gave the allied ships a pounding on the morning of June 6th, is the only coastal battery to have kept its guns. Your last stop will be the Canadian Cemetery. On D-Day alone, Canada suffered almost a thousand casualties, of whom 340 were killed or died of wounds. The list lengthened during the following days as the Germans sought desperately to drive the invaders out. The men who fell on the beaches and in the bitter bridgehead battles are buried in Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery which, despite its name, is near the village of Reviers. The cemetery contains 2,049 headstones enclosed by pines and maples. These mark the dead of the 3rd Division and the graves of 15 airmen. Your tour concludes with a relaxing drive back to the pier.
