I Am Planning A Trip To France In August And Would Like To Visit Normandy/d-day Sites Of Canadian Troops-juno?

I have found lots of info about staying near Omaha beach but not much regarding the sites of Canadian landing. Coming via rail, any good B&B’s to recommend that are reasonably priced.
Also wonder about car rental, dont want to drive in big cities but could manage country roads probably.
