Overview

This one week cycling trip around the Normandy coast is an immersion into the history of one of the most crucial battles of the Second World War: the D-Day landings. Your journey will take you along the length of the Allied Landing Beaches including Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword Beach. Along the way you will be able to pay your respects at the American Cemetery and Memorial and take a step back into history at Arromanches. Cycling all the way to the beautiful sandy beaches and seaside resorts of the Cote Fleurie, you will discover the multi-layered history of this region over the centuries and soak in its charm.


Pedalling with the added assistance of your e-bike, you will cycle on average 45km each day, along quiet lanes through tree-lined fields, and emerge at cliff top vantage points. This is the perfect way to take in this landscape that was transformed less than a hundred years ago into a fierce and unrelenting battleground, a world away from the peaceful farmland and coastal idylls you’ll cycle through on this tour.
