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. 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.
