Overview
France’s northwest coast-with its rocky cliffs and sandy beaches-is widely known for its pivotal role in WWII, but the region’s strong cultural identity and historic significance dates back to ancient Celtic roots. Just a couple hundred miles south of English Westcountry, Brittany and Normandy are geographically similar-though warmer, sunnier and less populated-compared with coastal England, and share a history of war, commerce, migration and cultural exchange that predates the Roman Empire. Cycling Brittany and Normandy is perfect for anyone who wants to…
- cross a drawbridge and emerge from a dungeon,
- imbibe local calvados, chouchenn and pommeau,
- traverse a bridge to the world’s most famous tidal island fortress, Mont-Saint-Michel

We just had a lovely time. The group was interesting, but compatible. The routes were well chosen and beautiful.
