Juno Beach Centre
Centre Juno Beach
Canada's only WWII museum in Normandy, telling the story of the Canadian landings on Juno Beach, with guided tours of the beach bunkers available.
Juno Beach was the landing site of the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division. The Juno Beach Centre opened in 2003, initiated by Canadian veterans. Its galleries present Canadian society during WWII and the wartime experience of Canadians, as well as the landings on Juno Beach and the fighting that followed. Most of the guides are young Canadians. In the dunes in front of the building, guided tours of German bunkers and tunnels are available for an extra fee. Admission is about 14 euros, and the centre closes in January. It is about 20 km from Bayeux, and the nearby town of Courseulles-sur-Mer is an oyster fishing port.
