Cycling Through History: My First International Bike Tour (Normandy to St. Malo)
In August 2013, I embarked on my first-ever international multi-day bike tour, cycling from Ouistreham in Normandy to St. Malo. This unforgettable journey took me along the historic D-Day beaches, through picturesque French countryside, and past incredible historical sites.
In this video, I’ll take you through my route, sharing key points of interest—including WWII landmarks, campsites, supermarkets, and hidden gems along the way. You can follow the full route on my Ride with GPS profile, complete with detailed waypoints for planning your own adventure.
