If the sand and sea could talk, imagine the stories you'd hear in Normandy
We arranged a short bicycle tour in honor of D-Day’s 70th anniversary, and it was so well received, we’re keeping it to honor every anniversary to come. Beginning in Bayeux and ending in Caen, this 4-day bicycle tour allows you to visit all of the major sites that influenced D-Day’s outcome: Juno Beach, Omaha Beach, Arromanches, and Pegasus Bridge.
You’ll also see all of the major monuments — the guns of Longues-sur-Mer, the Juno Beach Museum, Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial — that document D-Day’s history. Along the way, you’ll lodge in historical towns and dine on local fare, allowing you to experience Normandy at its best. This is the perfect bicycle tour if you’re limited for time but want to experience the full impact of the D-Day landing.
