Pastel-coloured skies, sea and beach, white cliffs, lush inland apple orchards, grazing cows and horses, canals, beautiful half-timbered farmhouses with thatched roofs: Normandy is that idyllic.
There are Calvados distilleries, Gothic cathedrals, picturesque towns and villages and numerous war memorials. If you're interested in history and culture, from the Viking Age to the Second World War and the Normandy landings, this is where you should cycle next.
A Viking raid from the north led to the founding of the Duchy of Normandy in 911. The saga tells us that it was Gange-Rolv, son of Håkon Mørejarl, who was outlawed by the king and travelled south with his men on a raid. There are still many traces of the Vikings here, both in the name Normandy and in the many small towns with names ending in ‘vik’, ‘harbour’ and ‘bec’.
These days you'll cycle through Normandy's rich history and inviting landscape from Bayeux via Cabourg and Honfleur to Trouville. Before you start cycling on the first day, it's a good idea to visit the museum where you can see Queen Mathilde's famous Bayeux Tapestry, which describes the Battle of Hastings and Duke William of Normandy's conquest of England in 1066 in embroidered ‘cartoon’ style.
