Beach&#8221;, where the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division led by Major General Rodney Keller would suffer terrible losses from the very first hour of the assault. Their objectives? To link up with other British sectors, then liberate the town of Caen and seize the Carpiquet airfield, which was to become the scene of long, hard fighting during the Battle of Caen. A fascinating stopover to better understand the first hours of the D-Day landings during your 4-star camping vacation in Normandy.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-bg-grid has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-72208401 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--c-huge);padding-right:2rem;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--c-norm);padding-left:2rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-602ba0fb wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-hrz-title--main has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-36696f4420143e5b307f9bd60723842a\">Camping favourites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-hrz-p--base\">Visit <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.junobeach.org\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Juno Beach Centre<\/a><\/strong> is a museum and place of remembrance that pays tribute to the 45,000 Canadians who lost their lives to liberate Europe from the Nazi yoke (photos, archives, audiovisual and audio testimonials and period objects).
