WW2 Memories

On 6 June 1944, Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy. Nicknamed “The Longest Day”, it was the day that turned the tide of the Second World War. Do you dream of a weekend cycling trip and want to discover the history of the D-Day landings? Normandie Rando can organise an express cycling tour taking in the most significant sites of this military operation.

Relive “the longest day” by bike

You start your tour in Bayeux before heading towards the coast, passing by the Battle of Normandy Museum, the British cemetery and the Bessin countryside. This cycle tour takes you to Colleville-sur-Mer to visit the American cemetery. The cycle ride continues along the beaches of Omaha to the west before returning to Bayeux. A longer route leads to Pointe du Hoc.

The next day, continue your cycle tour towards Juno Beach near Courseulles-sur-Mer, then set off to explore the Mue Valley as far as Fontaine Henry Castle.
You then cycle to the centre of Caen, the main town in Calvados.
