Private Sidecar Tour in Normandy from Bayeux

This private sidecar tour from Bayeux offers a different kind of journey through the key sites of the Normandy landings. Far from the crowded buses, you will travel on a motorbike with a sidecar, accompanied by a driver-guide who will take you along secondary roads, through villages and along the coastline, as he retraces the events of D-Day with you.

Before you start, you will choose between two main routes:

In the American sector option, the tour focuses on the places where US troops landed. The route usually includes key points linked to beaches such as Omaha Beach or Utah Beach, as well as areas near the American cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer and other locations associated with the American forces. This is the perfect choice if you are particularly interested in the US role in the Normandy invasion.

In the British sector option, the tour focuses on areas where British and Allied forces were active. The itinerary usually takes in beaches such as Sword Beach or Gold Beach, as well as strategic points on the Allied front, such as bridges or old defensive batteries associated with British and, in many cases, Canadian troops. This route is ideal if you want to get a closer look at the D-Day efforts of the United Kingdom and its allies.

Throughout the 2-hour tour, your private guide will explain the manoeuvres, the difficulties of the landing, the personal stories of the soldiers and the importance of each place you visit. The sidecar format makes the experience very immersive: you'll feel the wind off the Norman coast, see the fields and cliffs as the soldiers saw them decades ago, and have multiple opportunities to stop, ask questions and take photos.

It's a different, dynamic and very personal way to connect with one of the most important chapters of contemporary history.
