A visit to this magnificent cathedral offers a journey through time, blending history, art, and spirituality in a breathtaking setting.

Pedal through Normandy’s peaceful countryside on your electric bike, following scenic backroads from Bayeux to Omaha Beach. Leaving the city, you glide past lush fields and stone farmhouses, reaching the quiet and charming villages. The ride offers a glimpse into rural Normandy, far from the main roads. As you approach the coast, a narrow path suddenly opens onto Omaha Beach, revealing its vast shoreline in a breathtaking moment of surprise. This serene yet powerful journey blends nature, history, and the unexpected beauty of Normandy’s D-Day landscapes.
Omaha Beach
Stretching over 6 miles along the Normandy coast, Omaha Beach was the most challenging landing site of D-Day on June 6, 1944. U.S. forces faced intense German resistance, with high cliffs and fortified bunkers turning the beach into a deadly battlefield. Despite heavy losses, their bravery secured a crucial foothold in Europe. Today, Omaha Beach is a place of reflection, with vast sands, remnants of war, and memorials honoring the fallen. The peaceful waves contrast with its violent past, making it a deeply moving site where history and sacrifice come alive.
