Journey Through the Great Chapters of French History

Your Itinerary at a Glance

You set off by motorcycle through Normandy, riding across green hedgerows, timeworn villages, and quiet country roads. Soon, the route follows the D-Day beaches, powerful places of remembrance where history still resonates. The horizon then opens onto the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, suspended between land and sea. In Brittany, the road traces rugged cliffs, harbors, and the ever-changing light of the Emerald Coast, facing the Atlantic. The journey ends in Vendée, around the Puy du Fou, where history comes vividly to life. A powerful route linking emblematic places where memory, landscapes, and the French imagination intertwine.

The stages of your motorcycle route

Day 3 – Honfleur to Sainte-Mère-Église – 150 km of driving

You set out on a day of travel steeped in history. The kilometres roll by along the D‑Day landing beaches, now part of vast open landscapes. You visit in succession the Bénouville Bridge, Omaha Beach, and the American Cemetery at Colleville‑sur‑Mer. From Utah Beach the road takes you on to Sainte‑Mère‑Église. The day ends in a peaceful, rural setting, perfect for a break after a day full of discoveries and driving.

Day 4 – Sainte-Mère-Église to Saint-Malo — 167 km on the road

You leave Normandy and head into Brittany. The route takes you to Mont-Saint-Michel, where you'll leave the motorcycles to wander the narrow streets and visit the abbey. You then continue on to Saint-Malo. Arrival is on the seafront, in a distinctly maritime atmosphere. Take time to explore the intra-muros (the walled old town) and walk the ramparts before the evening.

Day 6 – Perros-Guirec to Vannes — 264 km of driving

You leave the coast to cross inland Brittany. The route takes you through the Monts d'Arrée, where the landscapes open up and become wilder. The drive alternates between fast stretches and sections that require more attention, providing real variety to the driving experience. You stop off in Pont-Aven before reaching Vannes at the end of the day. Spend the evening enjoying the harbor and the town's atmosphere.

Day 7 - Vannes -

This day is dedicated to exploring the Gulf of Morbihan. You set off on a motorcycle for the nearby villages, such as Locmariaquer and Auray, following the coastline and small ports. You continue on to Carnac to see the alignments of menhirs. If you wish, the day can be extended with a seaside break before returning to Vannes for the night.

Day 11 – Amboise – Tours

On this final day of riding, you set off to explore Chambord Castle. The motorcycles remain parked for the duration of the visit. You then head back toward Tours, passing through areas dotted with more modest, less conspicuous castles. In the evening, a dinner is organized with the team to close out this motorcycle road trip between Normandy and Brittany.

Day 12 - Tours – Paris -

You leave Tours to head to Paris. This transfer marks the end of this motorcycle trip, which was centered on the road, the diversity of the regions crossed, and the pleasure of riding.
