產品介紹
You’ll be picked up from your hotel or a meeting point in Bayeux in the afternoon for your half-day tour of Normandy’s Canadian World War II sites. Travel 30 minutes to the coast to your first stop, the Juno Beach Centre, located just behind the sand dunes of Juno Beach.
First opened in 2003 by a D-Day veteran, Garth Webb, the Juno Beach Centre is the only museum in Normandy dedicated to Canada’s role in WWII. On your visit here, learn about the role the Canadian Army played in the war and commemorate the contributions and sacrifices these soldiers made during the liberation of France and the rest of Europe. Surrounding the museum you’ll see German bunkers and beach obstacles, Canadian and Allied military equipment, and historic monuments and sculptures.
Your next stop is the B□ny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery, near where the Third Canadian Division landed. Beautifully situated on a hill overlooking the Atlantic coast, this cemetery is the final resting place of more than 2,000 Canadian, British and French soldiers, including the 359 Canadians killed on D-Day.
Continue to Ardenne Abbey, a masterpiece of Norman architectural design dating from the 12th century. Your guide will explain the troublesome history of the abbey, starting with the early years of the German occupation when it was a focal point for the local French Resistance. It was then taken over by Colonel Kurt Meyer’s regiment of the 12th SS Hitler’s Youth division. In June 1944, 20 Canadian soldiers were illegally executed here. The abbey was liberated a month later as the Canadians reached the city of Caen, and in 1945 Meyer was tried by Canadian Military Court and found guilty of war crimes.
After your time at Ardenne Abbey, relax and reflect on the drive back to Bayeux.
Please note: Due to special events taking place to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings, this tour may be amended on June 5, 6 and 7, 2014. It may not be possible to access the beaches, in which case alternative sites will be included instead.行程概要出發地點

Our tour guide was Gwin and he was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and was able to depart his knowledge in a very engaging manner. This was only a half day tour (5 hours) and yet we were able to see the various allied forces landing sites on Juno Beach, the Canadian Cemetery, the Juno Beach Canadian War museum and the Abbey at Verdennes. It was a very moving and educational day and Gwin was able to keep us on track without us feeling rushed. I would highly recommend.

David, our tour guide had a wealth of knowledge and was pleasant and accommodating to both myself and adult son. While in the cemetery we happened to meet a local historian who was planting flowers at six graves. This gentleman is an author and it was an extra special treat to chat with him.

We had a very good experience on this tour. Philip was a very knowledgeable and energetic tour guide. He gave us great insights into preparations for D-Day, great detail of D-Day itself and the days and weeks afterwards. A very humbling experience and something we would recommend for anyone, Canadian or otherwise. Some logistical notes we took the train from Paris, and with the length of the tour, it worked out to be a very good day trip. We were picked up at Bayeux train station at 13:00 although other pickups in the area can be arranged , and we were able to make the 18:35 back to Paris we had originally booked on the 20:09, but pulled it ahead, note: some train tickets have restrictions and can not be changed, we were only able to rebook because the later train was delayed 40 min.

My wife and I visited the Canadian World War II sites and we were in complete awe. It was a very humbling experience and our tour guide, Philip, made it so much better. He gave us a visual journey of D-Day and many other Canadian contributions during WW2.

This was an absolutely fascinating tour with an extremely knowledgeable and passionate host. Although the topic is quite heavy and sad, it was incredibly interesting. We went to all of the important sites. The tour guide was an absolutely pleasure and answered all our questions. Would suggest to anyone who will be in the area!

This tour was a gem, highly recommended! Romain,the tour guide, was exceptional. His knowledge of the history surrounding the Canadian landing at Juno was first class. His passion for the subject matter was very palpable. Too bad this tour is difficult to book because there are not a lot of dates available after July.

My wife's father had flown cover with the RCAF over Juno Beach, so, the tour was meaningful.
We were pleased with the depth of knowledge of our guide, who had to shorten the tour a bit to accommodate our
train schedule. Particularly impressive were the Juno Beach Center, Canada House and the Canadian Cemetery.
Part of a bucket list taken care of very well. -
I recommend this tour to anyone going to visit the D-Day beaches to do this tour and learn about Canada's involvement on that day. Eye opening!
