Overview
This bike tour in France features Normandy, a region with great historical significance. A land filled with battle-scars, most notably those from WW II, it is also a beautiful region with magnificent seaside views and rolling inland countryside dotted with meadows, bluebell woods, and sweet-smelling orchards.
You will have the opportunity to visit the Normandy Beaches, sites of the massive surprise attack by Allied forces that marked the beginning of the end of the Second World War. There are many memorials and museums that commemorate the memory of those who fought and those who died during this momentous period in history.
The tour is offered with options for different lengths and different levels of accommodations. You will start either in the old Roman town of Bayeux, the first French town liberated by the Allies on June 8, 1944, or Carentan, situated between Utah Beach and Omaha Beach and the scene of the Battle of Carentan between the airborne forces of the US and the German Wehrmacht.
Today, Bayeux is a flourishing farm center known for its majestic 13th-century Gothic cathedral as well as the famous Bayeux tapestry (11th century). Carentan is a quaint and striking town, nestled among the wetlands and wild marshes.
Highlights will vary depending on which version of the itinerary you choose.

Important to know
Travel documents:
Before you travel, please check the passport and visa requirements of the country/countries you plan to visit. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have proper identification. For US citizens, the U.S. Passports & International Travel website is a good source of information. The Country Information tab provides details about passport validity, blank passport pages required, etc. It is important to research before you travel as airlines will not permit boarding if you do not have the required valid documents.
We recommend that you make copies of your important documents and papers (insurance cards, etc.). Leave a copy at home and have a copy with you. In the unfortunate situation that you lose your original documents, having copies facilitates the replacement process.
*Important note: Please check on the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) status as once implemented, this will be required to visit any of the 26 Schengen-member countries for tourism, business, medical, or transit. This is an additional check on security rather than a visa.
Covid-19 Info
Country Entry Requirements
Due to the changing requirements for entry, it is imperative that you stay up to date on requirements set by the country/countries that you are visiting. Please visit our Travel Restrictions Tool page and the country/countries government webpage for this information.
Extra Stay
Extra night in Bayeux, Carentan, Caen, and Trouville possible.
