Solo Cycling La Vélomaritime: Exploring Normandy’s D-Day Beaches

Join me on an epic 1,500 km solo cycling adventure along La Vélomaritime, following the stunning French coastline, including the historic D-Day beaches of Normandy. Along the way, I explore picturesque coastal towns, rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and the haunting remains of the Atlantic Wall. This journey is as much about self-discovery and reflection as it is about cycling. From quiet moments alone to the emotional weight of WWII memorials, I share my experiences, challenges, and the beauty of Northern France. 📍 Highlights of this video: Solo cycling along the French coast Stunning landscapes: beaches, cliffs, and seaside towns Historical sites: D-Day beaches, Atlantic Wall, and Normandy memorials Personal reflections and the realities of long-distance solo cycling If you enjoy cycling adventures, history, or travel documentaries, this ride along La Vélomaritime is for you! 👍 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more cycling journeys and travel stories. #SoloCycling #LaVelomaritime #Normandy #DDayBeaches #CyclingFrance #TravelVlog #adventurecycling ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Intro – Cycling La Vélomaritime in France 02:04 Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue 02:40 Utah Beach D-Day Museum 05:07 Arromanches-les-Bains (Mulberry Harbour) 05:42 Côte Fleurie (Cabourg) 07:12 Crossing Normandy Bridge Honfleur - Le Havre 10:14 Veules-les-Roses 10:52 Dieppe (castle) 13:40 Bay of the Somme (large estuary) 15:26 Picnic in Le Crotoy BICYCLE GEAR Bike: idworx oPinion eT https://www.idworx-bikes.de/product/o...
