D-Day Landing Beaches In Normandy
Thoughts on Normandy, in the north of France, are inextricably linked to remembrances of D-Day and World War II. On this bicycle tour, you will have the opportunity to cycle to famous D-Day beaches like Omaha Beach and other locations connected to the invasion, such as manmade harbors, churches with bullet holes, and the military cemeteries. In some ways, this bicycle tour is also a pilgrimage, as you will have plenty time to reflect on the historical events that occurred here.
Life in Normandy is peaceful, and you will be able to explore the stunning coast and the magnificent countryside at your own pace. The region is known for its apples and dairy products, as well as excellent seafood; you can eat at local restaurants and cafes, or perhaps buy local produce, such as Camembert, Livarot, or Pont-Leveque cheese, and enjoy a picnic!
With flat, expansive landscapes, Normandy makes for an easy bicycle tour. Depending on what you choose to do and see, your days will be very full and fun!
