A family cycling holiday in Normandy follows the Véloscenic route, a 450km cycle path from Paris to Mont-Saint-Michel. The family camped at designated sites along the way, carrying their own gear on panniers.
Route and Stops
The route passed through rolling countryside, apple orchards, and historic villages. Each day covered about 30-40km, allowing time for picnics and visits to local markets. Overnight stops included campsites near Lisieux and Bayeux.
Family Experience
Children aged 8 and 10 managed the distance well, with frequent breaks for ice cream and swimming. The family praised the well-marked paths and traffic-free sections. Camping provided a cost-effective and flexible accommodation option.
