Courseulles-sur-Mer, Coastal commune in Calvados, France
Located on the English Channel coast of Normandy, Courseulles-sur-Mer extends along the River Seulles with a harbor accommodating fishing boats and recreational vessels.
The town played a crucial role during D-Day operations in 1944 when 14,000 Canadian troops landed on Juno Beach, establishing a strategic position for Allied forces.
The Juno Beach Centre museum presents extensive exhibits about Canadian military contributions, while local markets showcase Norman seafood and regional products.
Regular bus services connect Courseulles-sur-Mer to Caen and surrounding towns, with the commune situated 18 kilometers north of the departmental capital.
The weekly market brings together 50 vendors throughout the year, offering fresh catches from local fishing boats alongside regional agricultural products.
