Between Brittany and Normandy, this cycling tour reconciles the two great regional rivals through their superb bucolic roads and shared history in a pleasant itinerary that lets you enjoy every moment in the saddle.
With little difficulty on the bike, this trip focuses on historical heritage: thousand-year-old villages, places where Cartier and Champlain set out for America, World War II sites, including the Normandy landings... here, every street corner is filled with history!
The highlight of your stay will undoubtedly be arriving at Mont-Saint-Michel, whose remarkable abbey is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of France's most visited attractions.
Along the way, you can stop off at the Christian-Dior Museum in Granville, and at Deauville beach, famous since 1923 for its popular boardwalk called Les Planches. Hundreds of miles of history unfold before you!
