Juno beach

The last, but far from being the smallest, audience on this beach are historians. They come here to see the place where the largest landing operation in the history of mankind took place. Of course, this is about the landing in Normandy. In 1944, Canadian soldiers came to this land and drove the Germans off the shore. In just 2 days, they managed to create a powerful bridgehead for the opening of the Western Front. There're several monuments of that era left on the beach. Including firing positions, bunkers, memorials to the dead and graves of brave soldiers.

And the others. The beach is located 20 km northwest of Caen. You can get here by bus, taxi or private transport.
