Giro veloce in bici da Bayeux a Port-en-Bessin-Huppain

This scenic ride takes you from the historic heart of Bayeux—famed for its medieval cathedral and the incredible Bayeux Tapestry—northward to the charming fishing village of Port-en-Bessin-Huppain on the Normandy coast. Clocking in at just under 13 km, the route gently leaves Bayeux’s bustling streets behind, gliding through quiet country roads, cycleways, and a few peaceful paths. You’ll get a mild workout with some gentle climbs (about 65 meters of ascent) before cruising down towards the sea.

Expect mostly smooth asphalt under your wheels, with the occasional less-defined section (nothing too wild, though). The final approach down into Port-en-Bessin gives you sweeping views of the English Channel—a well-earned treat! Once you arrive, wander the bustling port, sample fresh seafood, or simply bask in the salty sea air. This ride is perfect for a leisurely morning or afternoon, blending history, countryside, and coastline all in one trip.
