Brittany & Normandy Family Bike Tour - Teens & Kids
World War II Landmarks & Emerald Coast
The stories are epic. Historic. From a quiet corner of France. Think Vikings. William the Conqueror. Faithful pilgrims. Allies landing. These stories really happened. But there's also the exhilarating present. Biking. Horseback riding. Kart sailing. Clearly "action-packed" is not a thing of the past.
