Juno Beach

An often forgotten soldier of the Second World War is the Canadian one, and as such so is the importance of the role they played on the beaches of Normandy on 6th June 1944, during the landing of the Allied Forces. Paying tribute to these brave men is the Juno Beach Centre in Courseulles-sur-Mer, Calvados. Opened in 2003, it was built on the same stretch of coast that was assigned to the Canadians during what would become the largest amphibious invasion in history.

The mission to capture the beach, baptised codename Juno, fell to the 3rd Infantry Division and the 2nd Tank Brigade of the Canadian army. After a long day of fierce fighting, these 14 000 men managed to gain a solid foothold of about half a dozen miles deep.

The Juno Beach Centre is easily distinguished by its hard skin of titanium scales, a resistant and unchanging shell that breaks the sunlight across its surface into a thousand glittering shards of light. The museum is a ground-floor establishment of a total 1430m² that retraces the history of Canada from and throughout the Second World War right up until the modern day.

Inside, the permanent exhibition tells the story of these Canadian heroes via a wide-range of documents, photographs, video and audio footage, maps, artefacts and various other multimedia, all built into an environment which together creates an atmosphere that will take you back in time. Alongside this, the Centre also offers activities for youngsters, including interactive games, quizzes and of course guided visits to Juno Beach and the remnants of the Atlantic Wall.

Available on Pariscityvision.com is the minibus tour D-Day Tour: Normandy and the Landing Beaches during which a visit to Juno Beach is seriously recommended.
