This tour starts and finishes at Dover and will be fully hosted & led for the duration of the tour.
This tour visits the rugged Normandy coastline and some of the more poignant reminders of the D-Day landings of WW2. The Normandy region is one of the most touristic regions of France, known worldwide for its white chalk cliffs and its D-DAY landing beaches. It is also famous for its local products such as Camembert, Calvados, cider and tripe. As we all like being beside the sea, we have a three-night stop in Trouville, from where we’ll have ride-outs into the countryside and to historic places of interest including the new British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer. We make our return to the UK with a stop in the lovely harbour town of Honfleur. A nice gentle tour to start the year.
