Am traveling with my wife and two daughters 12 and 15 and we are intending to do a self tour of the D Day beaches at the end of July.
Home base is the Chateau Bouceel
Can you suggest:
1. A guidebook giving the highlights with some discussion of Canada%26#39;s role.
2. What sights we could see in a 4-5 hour day
Thank you
Andy

Did a quick search and it seems that you are a little bit aways from the Canadian beaches. You should make your way back to Courselles sur mer. The juno beach centre is there. Canadian museum. They do great guided walks along the beach. Also it is not too far to the Beny sur Mer Canadian Cemetery and the cemetery near Faliase is about 30 minutes south.

An excellent book for background information and actual tour routes, is Major and Mrs Holt%26#39;s Battlefield Guide to Normandy. Invaluable information on all the beaches, routes to travel, museum opening times and personal anecdotes from civilians and servicemen.
