On a piece of land gifted by France to Canada near Bény-sur-Mer, the final resting place for Canadian soldiers who gave their lives for the liberation of France. The grounds are immaculately maintained. Reading the names and ages on the headstones is a poignant reminder of the tremendous sacrifice of the Greatest Generation. There's a large parking lot adjacent to the cemetery with a large Canadian flag painted on the ground. A must visit for everyone, especially Canadians.

Stumbled upon this cemetery by accident and really glad that we did. It is incredibly well kept and beautiful set out. Beautifully poignant.

Visited here by accident, but was much gratified. Contrast styles of Canadian, British, German, and American headstones. Did not visit French Cemeteries on this trip, but note they too are different.

Just completed a Vimy 100 tour visiting many of the Canadian cemeteries in Normandy and Belgium. As a young teen I delivered newspapers to the veterans home, many of whom landed on the beaches on D-Day and in the weeks following. They suffered from 40 year old injuries, shell shock, etc. To see many of their friends and colleagues that never made it home was a very emotional experience. The cemetery is on a rise with a view of the surrounding villages and the ocean, the land they fought and died to free. As all war cemeteries it is immaculately kept and has a small building on which you can climb stairs to get a greater view out over all the headstones. A must see for Canadians.

One of the most peaceful places I have ever been to in my life. Hallowed ground. It is located in some of the most beautiful countryside on earth. As an American, I thank God for the brave heroes who are buried there. We owe our freedom to them. I was in Normandy to see the place where my dad and his twin brother jumped in as part of the 101st Airborne. We drove to the Canadian Cemetery because my friend's dad is buried there. I am so glad I did. It is a deeply moving experience.
