We had an amazing time. The hotels were very nice and the French Cuisine was amazing. Particularly liked the Le Grand Hard. We had no problems other than the long day being exceptionally headwindy (and those much heavier than my bikes!) There was way too many museums and monuments - couldn’t see everything!!

We just wanted to say that we had a great time cycling in Normandy. We had no problems with the bikes or with the routes. There were actually more cycle lanes than we had expected and you had picked out plenty of quiet roads in other places. The hotels were also ideal. Have to give a mention to the food in the Lion d'Or in Bayeux, and also the owners of the Grand Hard hotel who were lovely.

The owners were lovely and we enjoyed this place and the others very much. We did cut short the mileage a couple of days as there were so many interesting museums to see, but it was a fabulous trip. Thanks so much ! Cheers
