Camping municipal Quintefeuille: Discovering Asnelles and Calvados

From Meuvaines and Asnelles, head for Arromanches-les-Bains via the inland and coastal routes, as you follow in the footsteps of the British 231st Brigade. Over this route, you will discover a share of the history of the British troops’ advance thanks to different explanatory panels and sites.

From Arromanches to Grandcamp-Maisy, 51km offering the most beautiful views of the D-Day beaches by bike: the artificial harbor, the German battery at Longues-sur-Mer, Port-en-Bessin, the US cemetery, and Pointe du Hoc.

This cycle route between Arromanches and Longues-sur-Mer offers stunning scenery and exceptional views of the sea and the D-Day landing sites. It is an 8-kilometre route dedicated to cyclists, with undeniable scenic and historical appeal.

Relive D-Day and the famous Battle of Normandy. Set off on a discovery tour of these legendary beaches, theatre of a major page in history - Operation Overlord on 6th June 1944. The quiet roads along this cycling route take you through some pretty villages boasting charming manor farms built during the region’s prosperous farming period.

Bike ride along portions of the greenways from Arromanches to Courseulles-sur-Mer.

From Ryes to Noyers-bocage, continue along William the Conqueror’s route as you cover portions 3 and 4 of his epic ride.

From the church in Ryes, climb up to the Monts de Ryes plateau that overlooks the Gronde valley. From there, you can marvel at the panorama over Ryes, to the south, and Saint-Côme-de-Fresné and the artificial harbour in Arromanches to the north.

Set off from Ver-sur-Mer and discover Crepon and Bazenville as you follow in the footsteps of the British 69th Brigade. Along the route, different panels offer information on the brigade’s advance just after the D-Day Landings in 1944.

From Creully and its medieval castle, take to the heights to admire the Seulles valley from above, before heading back down to discover Saint-Gabriel Brécy and its priory.

This cycle route invites you to discover the region’s architectural and scenic heritage through a succession of traditional villages, lush green valleys and country lanes. Along the route, several castles, historic estates and heritage sites dot the loop, bearing witness to the region’s rich history. With its remarkable buildings, gardens and charming villages, this getaway combines cultural discovery with unspoilt nature. The route also passes through the valleys of the Seulles, the Thue and the Mue, where the sound of the rivers, the shaded stretches and the peaceful atmosphere offer a rejuvenating and authentic experience as you cycle along.

The "medics" plaque was unveiled in 2018 on Omaha Beach in the presence of Ray Lambert, on the very spot where the 16th Regiment of the 1st US Infantry Division landed on June 6, 1944. A nurse sergeant in the 1st Infantry Division, Ray Lambert landed on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. On that day, he was part of the first assault waves of the 1st US Infantry Division on Omaha Beach. Having joined the US Army in 1940, he had already taken part in several major military operations during the Second World War, in North Africa and Sicily. When he approached Omaha Beach in his landing craft, he was a sergeant leading a group of nurses. Under heavy enemy fire, he organized the rescue of survivors and set up a first-aid post on the beach, near a concrete block, one of the few shelters where the wounded could be brought to safety, below Wn 62, the German-held resistance nest in the Colleville-sur-Mer sector. Ray Lambert was wounded several times during the day on June 6, but continued to treat the wounded. For his actions, he received several high American awards, as well as the Légion d?Honneur. Ray Lambert died on April 10, 2021 at the age of 100. In accordance with his wishes, he was cremated at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, while some of his ashes were scattered on Omaha beach, where he loved to return to pay tribute to his brothers in arms, in the presence of friends and family. The site has since become a place of remembrance for D-Day doctors and nurses.
