Cycle a loop around the landing beaches such as Omaha beach with possibility to continue to the "Pointe du Hoc". Then, follow small countryside routes through typical villages like Colleville sur mer and its impressive American cemetery and Port en Bessin before heading back to Bayeux.
DAY 3: Bayeux – Caen, 35 mi. (57 km)
Today you cycle to Arromanches where you see, floating in the sea, some vestiges of the artificial harbor "Mulberry" conceived by W. Churchill. Continue along the coast to Courseulles sur Mer and Juno Beach where the Canadian landed. You can visit the memorial to this legacy before cycling back inland to the charming town of Caen.
DAY 4: Caen – Cabourg, 17 mi. (28 km)
After having crossed the Pegasus bridge, where the English army won an important victory in 1944, it's time to enjoy a coastal ride and discover the magnificent "Côte Fleurie" and the charmingly elegant town of Cabourg. Cabourg is a much loved family resort with pleasant walks along a promenade over two miles long sheltered by a sea wall and is the town where it is said that Marcel Proust found the inspiration for one of his novels.
DAY 5: Cabourg – Honfleur, 30 mi. (48 km)
Back to the “Pays d'Auge” area reaching the village of Beaumont-en-Auge with its colorful half timbered cottages before reaching Deauville. Deauville, lady of the French coast, with its most glamorous seaside resort, symbolizes elegance, prestige and sophistication. This is also the city of the horse and the gateway to Calvados. Continue by cycling along the coast to reach Honfleur and its charming harbor. Honfleur is a small medieval town, revealing her riches to all those who take the time to look... The past is in evidence all around... calling to you... The Old Dock surrounded by picturesque narrow houses, this is with no doubt what catches the eye of every visitor upon their first visit to Honfleur. But the town is also St Catherine, St Etienne, St Léonard churches, the Lieutenance, the old Salt Stores, the medieval cobbled streets. Honfleur is also recognised as one of the cradles of Impressionism and many artists’ favorite place.
DAY 6: Departure from Honfleur
This Normandy bike tour will end following breakfast.

This was a truly outstanding tour. Excellent routes found for cycling and gave the chance to see the beaches and really understand the way the Normandy Invasion unfolded and how big the area involved in this incredible event in history was.
A seemless trip where our biggest concern was where to get our next cup of coffee as we meandered across the countryside.

The Normandy bike trip was fantastic! The route descriptions were confusing at times but we were able to figure everything out. The route took us through beautiful areas of Normandy, through small villages, scenic small roads, to the beaches of D Day and each day ended in a charming city in which we retired for the night. The accommodations...ESPECIALLY THE ONE IN BAYEUX!!! were great. Stephon, the owner of the B and B was friendly, helpful and made our stay in his town enjoyable. Bayeux was an interesting and beautiful city! TripSite's choices for accommodations each night was outstanding. Great locations so we could walk to anything we desired to see. Another day or two of biking on this trip would have been wonderful...we had so much fun! Highly recommend this trip.
