From Bayeux to Rouen via Honfleur
This popular bicycle tour allows you to explore Normandy in all its glory. Beginning in Bayeux and ending in Rouen, you’ll bicycle through the countryside that gave rise to Impressionist painting and inspired the brushstrokes of Monet and Boudin.
You’ll wheel along Normandy’s coast and visit some of D-Day’s most prominent battle sites, including Omaha Beach, Pegasus Bridge and Longues-sur-Mer, site of one of Germany’s most formidable defense placements. You’ll also visit ancient cathedrals and stand before the place where Joan of Arc met her death. And at night, you’ll lodge in charming cities and villages, enjoying Normandy’s best culinary offerings.
Most days come with ride options, allowing you to choose between longer and shorter routes. This bicycle tour is great for riders and history buffs alike, suitable for all riding levels.
If you’re an elite rider, you may consider our more challenging version of this bicycle tour, which contains longer daily stages. The itinerary is the same, but the rides are longer.
