Overview

Cycle Normandy’s coastlines, charming villages, and cider routes while exploring D-Day sites and savoring Calvados and local cheeses. The Normandy region offers over 310 miles of cycling routes and a rich heritage. The friendly locals are eager to share their region’s rich history and fantastic local food and drinks, including locally-made fine cider, Calvados, and Camembert cheese. The region has witnessed two pivotal events in world history: the Norman Conquest and the D-Day invasion. The anniversary of D-Day is commemorated annually with solemn ceremonies and grand re-enactments. Normandy is also a land of abbeys, chateaux, and coastal villages that you will discover on a week-long bike ride.
