A route where the beautiful sandy beaches of today still carry the echo of warfare from previous times and which is eloquently reflected by the American cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach.

From the medieval city of Bayeux, discover the Landing Beaches by bike. Ride on small and quiet roads in the countryside or along the coast between nice landscapes and historic sites. Between the famous Omaha Beach and the charming port of Port-en-Bessin, do not miss the high cliffs of Pointe du Hoc and the American Cemetery of Colleville sur Mer. Also take a stroll in the seaside villages. The visit of Caen also reserves you good moments with its pleasant port, its abbeys and its famous Memorial.

Meet the nature in the Somme Bay, ranked among the most beautiful bays in the world. From the medieval city of Saint Valery sur Somme, you ride along the bike paths and small roads to discover an exceptional nature environment: wild beaches, charming villages, dunes and forests.

Discover what defines Normandy by bike! From Bayeux, with its famous tapestry, bike the length of the Allied Landing Beaches (Gold Beach, Arromanches, etc…) all the way to the beautiful fine sandy beaches of the Côte Fleurie (Cabourg, Deauville and Trouville).

 Wander through the heart of a landscape full of small enclosed fields called the “bocage”. These beautiful fields and gentle valleys are enclosed by hedges and copses and full of grazing cows. Bike the length of the historic Normandy coast, where one moving memorial of the allied landings follows another, ending your tour in the stunning medieval port of Honfleur.
