Normandy Tours in Summer

I went with my Brother for our first cycling trip. We have done little cycling so we were apprehensive but we thoroughly enjoyed the trip, food, wine, cycling, sites and the accommodation was good. We eventually found some good French beer! Everything was well organised, well lead and we had great fun with everybody. We were lucky with the weather which help make the trip. The transfers were however quite long, which maybe needs looking at. Also maybe look at having additional guides at some of the other main sites which were not guided. This could be added as option.

Good cycling on varied terrain; canal path for first day; country roads, cycling by the sea, dirt tracks, sandy tracks, woodland paths, all doable and fun. Lovely scenery, lots of history, beautiful old buildings and D-Day beaches Omaha and Juno and the museums to bring it to life. Very moving.

It was just that, a taste of France. Very informative tour and lots of spare time. We enjoyed the quaint little country villages and the old town in Lyon was an absolute food fest. A full tour but very enjoyable. Will do it again.

From the Chateaux in the Loire Valley to the fascinating Bayeux Tapestry in Normandy, & wine tasting in Burgundy, this is the ideal tour to see France. The highlights for me were the Tapestry & Mont St Michel. It was quite hot in July, as Europe was experiencing their "canicule" (heatwave) & also being the high season, there were people everywhere. But overall, it was a historical & fun tour.
