Overview
Our program brings you the best of both worlds: the consistency you rely on and the flexibility your group needs.
Your group will step into the landscape where Canadian soldiers landed on D-Day in Normandy. Students will explore the preserved tunnel that became part of the Canadian Corps military strategy and lead a military ceremony to honour their significant victory in 1917. They will then have time to explore the world-famous museums and landmarks of Paris.
