T_Unit-
Cheers! Last suggestion from my limited ramblings in the area; the hotel at Thury-Harcourt is nice as is the countryside surrounding the village. Look up 'La Suisse Normande' for more!

London to New Haven if you want to ride down as well, starting from Coulsdon South (Thameslink train from up North and going through London Bridge, cut out all of South London sprawling suburbia) : https://www.strava.com/routes/10935300
Cross the Seine on the Pont De Normandie, the map says it's a motorway but there's a sidewalk as well as a bike lane (I used the sidewalk!). Crossing upstream on the Pont de Tancarville is forbidden to bikes/pedestrians apparently (haven't gone and checked myself), or there's a foot ferry at Quillebeuf-sur-Seine.
Then honestly I would just use a paper map and go through places that look interesting (you can't really go wrong). This is nice and should get you across Normandy, from Le Havre to Mont Saint Michel I reckon. I can lend it to you if you want.
Quite a detour up the Cotentin peninsula, but check out Bricquebec if you want to sleep at an abbaye (and be woken up by bells ringing at 4:30)
Check this out for cycle routes suggestions as well, but really take a map and you'll be fine :)
