Brittany & Normandy Family Bike Tour - Older Teens & 20s
D-Day Landmarks, Mont-St-Michel & Seaside France
France is full of historic spots, but Brittany and Normandy are different. Travel back in time with your family, biking the coastline and standing among bunkers and gun posts at Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc. Get lost in the moment, listening to the waves and watching horses trot gracefully along peaceful beaches. They're places full of stories and emotions, past and present. Feel free to take some back with you.
