ROAD BIKING WITH RARA

The well-kept secret of Swiss Normandy is a biking haven where wildlife still has the upper hand, just 40km inland from Caen. As the River Orne winds its way through the area's unspoilt countryside, it creates deep valleys and immense cliffs in the granite landscape. As a result there is a wide variety of stunning routes offering gentle, scenic rides right through to tough challenging climbs.

Take a deep breath of fresh country air on the winding downhill descents. With a wealth of local knowledge, your guide will show you local routes passing rivers, woods and an abundance of wildlife in this beautiful area of northern France.

Get an insight into Normandy culture as you ride through quaint villages and come across farms where you can drop in and taste locally produced cheese, cider and calvados. This is rural France at its most welcoming, mix with the locals in the village tabac and cafe.
