Voie de la Liberté

Indeed, fast gravel, as you see much more in Brittany than in Normandy. Together with the cliffs it makes this an idyllic, traffic-free cycle path.

July 1, 2023,La Velomaritime bis Port-en-Bessin

This section of the Velomaritime is a dream. It leads along the cliffs directly on the Atlantic, you could take pictures non-stop. I could ride this bike path multiple times in a row. It was a treat!! ❤️

Soldiers from France, the USA, Canada, Great Britain, and Germany are present. Many people wear uniforms of the soldiers of that time, and all kinds of vehicles from …

September 18, 2023,Velomaritime Tag 14: Von Carentan nach Arromanches-les-Bains

This created a somewhat threatening atmosphere, especially since the wind was gusting all day long. The numerous stoneware, memorials and monuments to D-day almost 80 years ago are also depressing. We took some time at Omaha Beach and …

After we had circumnavigated the marshland of Carentan in a large arc, the EV4 went along the cliffs very nicely at times. Partly the EV4 is still under construction in this section and you have to live with the provisional …
