Cycling Barfleur in Normandy: Unexpected Find

A 50km gravel loop from the beautiful seaside town of Barfleur, Normandy — a peaceful ride full of coastal views, wooded trails, and unexpected discoveries. I plotted the route using Strava with no set plan, just a sense of adventure. Along the way, I stumbled across one of the largest German WWII batteries I’ve seen in Normandy, tucked away on a beach overlooking the English Channel. Quiet lanes, dappled forest climbs, and hidden bays made this an unforgettable early summer ride.
