  • I'm planning a few days in Normandy with a mate next weekend, looks like we'll be coming into and out of Caen. Will do a bit of Eurovelo 4 but not looking for massive miles, mostly bimbling, eating and drinking. Any particularly charming towns/villages/sights/national parks/restaurants etc that anyone would recommend in that part of the world? Much obliged.

  • There’s a nice campsite in arromanches,, very close to the centre and the beach. It’s not the site which is of note, rather than the boardwalk which looks over the mulberry harbours on the sand. A couple of great bars and restaurants on the front there. Of course Moules Frites is a must.
    Can also recommend the ride out to Pegasus Bridge, off road from memory and it’s a well preserved area with bars and cafes.
    And is any trip to the area complete without a trip to Honfleur? Moules frites on the harbour wall is of course a must again.

  • Veloroute du lin is very nice as an inland alternative to EuroVelo 4

    I quite like Fecamp, nice slightly faded seaside town vibes.
    Le Havre for some lovely brutalism.
