Here is a good article about it

But in short the difference is that JOURNEE translates the duration of time, the feeling of a whole day while JOUR is ponctual with no impression of duration. Each has its own use.

"Le jour" means the day. Whereas "la journée"means the entire day. For example:
Lundi est le premier jour de la semaine.- Monday is the first day of the week.
Je suis resté chez mon amie tout la journée.- I spent the entire day at my friends house.
Hope that helps.
