Normandy & Brittany Biking

Our first ride begins from the gate of a gorgeous Renaissance castle. Pedal through rolling valleys and pass medieval churches until we reach Juno Beach. Visit the on-site museum, then we’re off to our friend’s manor home for a picnic lunch. Later, we'll enjoy cocktails before we sit down for our first dinner at one of Bayeux’s traditional bistronomic restaurants. 

Ride through the Omaha Beach sector, pausing at a museum for an immersive look at the gear and stories behind the D-Day landings. Over a private lunch, a renowned historian sets the stage before you continue to sweeping views above Omaha Beach for a powerful, firsthand account. End at the American Cemetery, reflecting during the moving Taps ceremony.

Begin pedalling to the bunkers at Longues-sur-Mer, the only guns still in place, then roll on to the Arromanches Museum. Join our baronial host in his château for a country lunch. This evening, we’ll sit down at one of our favourite gastronomic restaurants.

Starting near the bay in Avranches, our ride follows quiet paths and roads to the fairytale Mont Saint-Michel. Pause for a delicious farm-fresh lunch before continuing to Mont, where we’ll be joined by a local expert for a behind-the-scenes visit of this fascinating piece of medieval history. Wander through Dinard’s lively dining scene tonight.

Take a private ferry to St. Malo for a guided visit to the walled town, then hop on our bikes and ride to Cancale, a picturesque oyster-farming village. Enjoy a seaside lunch before riding either directly to, or via stunning Saint-Souillac to Saint-Malo to catch the “Seabus.” For our final night celebration, we’ll savour cocktails and a private Breton music concert, followed by a Michelin-starred dinner in the hotel’s seaside dining room.
