    Normandy in August

    I have planned and booked a trip to Normandy in August.
    Our route is:
    calais-le touquet-giverny-mont st michel-bayeux-honfleur-calais

    Anyone have experience of good riding roads and/or must see destinations along our way?

    Thanks

    Hi, Make shore you have a look round Mont st michele, at night time is good when its all lit up and you can watch the tide rush in and a round the mont, just make shore your not parked on the bottom car park as it is under water at night,
    Be carefull around there we went a few years a got and was warned of a speed trap by the people we hired he accomadation off,

    There are lots of nice little towns to visit, and some nice sea food to be had if you like thad sort of thing,

    If you get to bored you can all ways shoot up to Normandy and have a look at some war history,
    Have a good time and be safe,
    Ian.

    Search for the threads about "Normandy" on here, or trawl through the ride reports.

    Alternatively, have a look here.

    If you need more specific information, just let me know.

    There's a sign that says you can have breakfast in the hotel, but when we turned up in the morning they looked at us in typical French fashion: "But you should have ordered it last night"!

    Well if the sign had said...
