Saint-Pierre Church

Highlight • Religious Site

This church still retains some vestiges of Romanesque style dating from the 12th and 13th centuries. The rest of the building has since been completely rebuilt. In particular its octagonal bell tower, located directly on the roof of the church, which is particularly original.

Langrune-sur-Mer

Highlight • Other

The name of this seaside resort is of the same Scandinavian origin as Greenland's (and also means "green land" in Danish), probably because of the abundance of seaweed, which makes the air smell of iodine. The beautiful two-storey bell tower of the 13th century church resembles the Eglise Saint-Pierre in Caen

Juno Beach Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

This museum, shaped like a Canadian maple leaf and covered in titanium, traces Canada's history and geography through countless testimonies from Canadians from a wide variety of backgrounds. It features multimedia and interactive games.
After a short introductory film, visitors understand the crucial role played by Canadian troops, especially the navy, in the Normandy landings, as well as their industrial efforts for the Allies.
