Location is Courseulles-sur-Mer in Normandy. The exhibition reminds people about the major role the Canadians played in the liberation of the Netherlands during the last nine months of the Second World War. It highlights historical moments, which are the origin of constant friendship links unifying both countries since the dreadful 1945 winter. Forged in fire The post-war period is also mentioned trough the stories of the Dutch war wives who followed their Canadian soldiers in their new country, the first large Dutch immigration waves to Canada, as well as the numerous commemorative traditions these past decades.

Both the Liberation Route Europe Foundation (www.liberationroute.com) and the Juno Beach Centre (www.junobeach.org) worked on the creation and realisation of the exhibition. The explanation is available in French, English and Dutch. ‘Maple Leaves and Tulips’ can be visited at the Museum Hall of the museum in Courseulles-sur-Mer (Normandy).

SAMPLE TOUR FRANCE - LUXEMBOURG - BELGIUM BATTLEFIELD TOUR - WWII OPERATION OVERLORD AND BATTLE OF THE BULGE NORMANDY - Welcome to Normandy, known for its wealth of food products and the significant role it played in European history. The name Normandy is derived from the word Northman, referring to the Scandinavian Vikings who settled here in the 10th century and later became known as Normans. The Allied invasion on June 6, 1944 and the long Battle of Normandy that followed left another permanent footprint in Normandy. The historical importance of this invasion that led to the liberation of Europe from the Nazi-German occupation can be seen and felt throughout Normandy because of the many well preserved military structures, objects, memorials and cemeteries from the Second World War. Aside from history, Normandy is also known for its many agricultural products such as dairy, apples, pears, ciders and more. 1 DEPARTURE Depart to Europe on your overnight flight. 2 ARRIVAL Arrive at the International Airport of Paris Charles de Gaulle and meet your European Tour Manager who will remain with you throughout the tour. Board your private bus and drive to Caen, Normandy. With a population of more than 100,000 inhabitants, Caen is the third largest city of Normandy and has been the stage of some of the largest events in European history. In the 11th century, William the Conquerer turned Caen into the center of ducal court and started his invasion of England from Caen. During the Battle of Normandy in WWII, Caen sustained heavy war damage, however the town still has a pretty historic center with impressive medieval buildings and structures, reminding us of the great seat of Norman power it once was.
