Activity itinerary

Bayeux
  • 15m
Your Guide will meet you at the place of your choice, whether it is Bayeux's tourist office, your hotel or Bayeux's train station. Your guide will assist you in your choice of equipment, glasses helmet and gloves. Then once you are comfortably settled on the bike, it might be time for the 1st of numerous pictures
Omaha Beach
  • 50m
Omaha Beach is one of the most famous landing sites of D-Day and holds significant historical importance. Here, you'll stand on the same sands where thousands of American troops bravely stormed the shore amid heavy gunfire and artillery. Your guide will provide a moving account of the challenges faced by the soldiers during this intense battle. As you walk along the beach, you can pay your respects at the memorials and reflect on the valour and sacrifice of those who fought here.
Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer
  • 1h
The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, situated on a bluff overlooking Omaha Beach, is a poignant and deeply moving tribute to the fallen soldiers. As you wander through rows of white marble crosses and Stars of David, you'll experience a profound sense of gratitude and respect for those who gave their lives for freedom. Your guide will share stories about the individuals laid to rest here and provide insight into the profound impact of their sacrifices on the course of history.
Pointe du Hoc
  • 1h
This quiet path, far from traffic, winds through grassy fields and coastal scrubland, following the very ground Allied troops once crossed in 1944. As we ride westward, the cliffs grow wilder and the wind stronger, and a sense of anticipation builds. Arriving at Pointe du Hoc, the landscape suddenly shifts—deep bomb craters, shattered bunkers, and dramatic cliffs tell the storey of the US Rangers who scaled the heights under fire. The contrast between the peaceful ride and the violence that once occurred here is striking. This section of the journey is not only scenic, but deeply moving—a ride through beauty, memory, and courage etched into the very land.
Utah Beach
  • 1h
Utah Beach is a peaceful yet powerful D-Day landing site. Unlike Omaha, American forces here faced fewer losses, making it a place of quiet reflection and gratitude. Today, its serene coastline echoes the bravery and sacrifices of those who helped liberate Europe in June 1944.
Bayeux
  • 1h
Leaving Utah beach, we begin a peaceful return to Bayeux along some of the smallest countryside roads Normandy has to offer. These quiet lanes wind through open fields, apple orchards, and hedgerows, far from traffic and noise. It feels like stepping into another time—just you, the landscape, and the soft hum of your electric bike. We pass through tiny hamlets and farms, where stone houses and old barns sit untouched by modern life. Birdsong and the scent of blooming hedges accompany us as we gently climb rolling hills and coast down into valleys. There are no cars, no crowds—just endless green and the freedom of the open path. This hidden route offers not only beauty, but reflection—on the land, the history, and the peaceful contrast to the stories of war we've uncovered. As the cathedral spires of Bayeux appear in the distance, you return with a sense of calm, connection, and quiet wonder.
