Juno Beach Centre

Located on the beach at Courseulles-sur-Mer, the Juno Beach Centre is the only Canadian museum on the D-Day beaches. Founded by Canadian veterans in 2003, this place of remembrance pays tribute to the 45,000 Canadians who lost their lives during the Second World War, including 5,500 during the Battle of Normandy and 381 on D-Day. Young bilingual Canadian guides welcome visitors and share their passion for the history and memory of Canadian soldiers. A powerful combination of history, immersion and emotion, the permanent tour presents Canada's civil and military war effort during the Second World War, through five exhibition rooms and two films. It is also an insight into Canada today. Artefacts, photos, archives and first-hand accounts offer a moving experience by placing people at the heart of the content. From March 2025, the new temporary exhibition "My childhood, 1939-1945" will plunge visitors into the daily lives children led in Normandy and Canada during the Second World War. Average length of visit: 30 minutes A guided tour of the bunkers with a young Canadian guide gives an insight into the evolution of the Atlantic Wall's defences and the history of the Canadian landings on Juno Beach. The tour also takes in a command post and observation bunker built during the German occupation. Tour duration: 45 minutes The Juno Beach Centre reconciles remembrance, sustainable development and more responsible tourism.
