Overview
This is the fuller version of the ride: everything in the shorter tour, extended west along the cliffs to Pointe du Hoc, and finished with a cider tasting in the Norman countryside.
We start, as always, at Bayeux Cathedral, consecrated in 1077 before William the Conqueror, then head out on backroads no coach can reach, to Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, where 9,387 crosses and Stars of David stand across 172 acres above the bluffs.
From the cemetery, the route turns west along a quiet cliff path — the Channel on one side, the ground Allied troops once crossed on the other — to Pointe du Hoc, where bomb craters and shattered bunkers still mark the cliffs the U.S. Rangers scaled under fire.
We close gently: a cider and Calvados tasting at Domaine Lebrec, a family cider house near Omaha Beach, before the last quiet lanes carry you home to Bayeux. Your guide, your pace, your language — English, French, or Mandarin.

Activity itinerary
Cathedrale Notre-Dame
- 15m
Standing at the heart of Bayeux, the stunning Bayeux Cathedral is a masterpiece of Norman and Gothic architecture. Consecrated in 1077 in the presence of William the Conqueror, this grand cathedral played a key role in medieval history. Once home to the famous Bayeux Tapestry, it boasts intricate stained-glass windows, soaring arches, and remarkable Romanesque details. Its impressive facade and towering spires dominate the skyline, while its crypt reveals centuries-old frescoes. A visit to this magnificent cathedral offers a journey through time, blending history, art, and spirituality in a breathtaking setting.
Omaha Beach
- 45m
Stretching over 6 miles along the Normandy coast, Omaha Beach was the most challenging landing site of D-Day on June 6, 1944. U.S. forces faced intense German resistance, with high cliffs and fortified bunkers turning the beach into a deadly battlefield. Despite heavy losses, their bravery secured a crucial foothold in Europe. Today, Omaha Beach is a place of reflection, with vast sands, remnants of war, and memorials honoring the fallen. The peaceful waves contrast with its violent past, making it a deeply moving site where history and sacrifice come alive.
Cimetiere Americain de Colleville-sur-Mer
- 1h
Overlooking Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer is a solemn tribute to the 9,387 U.S. soldiers who lost their lives during the Battle of Normandy. Perfectly aligned white crosses and Stars of David stretch across 172 acres, creating a powerful visual symbol of sacrifice. The site includes the Memorial, the Chapel, and the Garden of the Missing, honoring those whose bodies were never found. The sound of the waves below contrasts with the cemetery’s quiet dignity. A visit here is a deeply moving experience, offering reflection on the cost of freedom and the bravery of those who fought
Pointe du Hoc
- 1h
Leaving the American Cemetery, we follow a peaceful cycle path that traces the edge of the cliffs, offering stunning views over the Channel and the vast expanse of Omaha Beach below. The sound of waves crashing far beneath adds to the solemn beauty of the route. 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 story of the U.S. 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.
Cidrerie Lebrec
- 30m
- Admission ticket included
At the heart of the Normandy countryside, near Omaha Beach, Domaine Lebrec in Englesqueville-la-Percée offers a charming and authentic cider tasting experience. Set in a traditional Norman farm, the visit begins with a warm welcome from the Lebrec family, producers for generations. You’ll discover how their cider is made—from apple orchard to bottle—using time-honored methods.
Inside the rustic tasting room or under the apple trees, you’ll sample a variety of craft ciders, from crisp and dry to smooth and fruity, along with Pommeau and Calvados, Normandy’s iconic apple brandy. The flavors reflect the rich soil, sea air, and tradition of the region. The nearby Château de la Percée, once a noble residence, adds a historical charm to the experience.
This is more than a tasting—it’s a moment of local life, where history, craftsmanship, and Normandy’s natural beauty come together in each glass. A perfect stop to relax and savor the region.
Bayeux (Pass by)
Leaving La Percée and Domaine Lebrec, 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.
