Bike rental in : mountain bikes, electric bikes & more

Get on a bike as soon as you arrive in Grandcamp-Maisy and let yourself be carried away by the sea air for just €10 a day. The narrow streets of the port, where the fishing fleet still moors, rub shoulders with the cycle paths along the bay. Each pedal stroke reveals a different panorama, between sand dunes, cliffs and villages typical of the Normandy coast.

Head east and in less than ten minutes you'll reach Omaha Beach, where history mingles with vast stretches of sand. Then follow the Vélomaritime to the emotionally-charged Pointe du Hoc promontory, or branch off to Utah Beach to the west for a stroll along the thyme- and rosemary-scented embankments. Mountain bikers will enjoy the forest trails that wind their way through the Dives marshes, a veritable oasis of biodiversity.

A lovely loop route takes you as far south as Carentan, twenty kilometers away, passing through charming hamlets. Further afield, Bayeux, thirty kilometers away, awaits you with its famous tapestry and lively market. You can even consider a jaunt as far as Caen, along quiet, safe greenways. Each of these routes is accessible with a conventional bike, and even easier with an electric-assist model.

As for climate, Grandcamp-Maisy enjoys a temperate oceanic climate. Summer days hover around 18 to 20°C, often bathed in sunshine but enhanced by a gentle breeze. In spring and autumn, showers are brief and refreshing: a light waterproof jacket or windbreaker will quickly find its place in your backpack. And don't forget to take sun cream with you, even under cloudy skies.

To get the most out of your trip, check tire pressure before each departure, and use a chain or U-bolt to secure your bike during breaks. Take along a water bottle and a few energy bars, and check the tide tables if you want to ride along the beach at low tide. A well-fitting helmet and a small repair kit will ensure your peace of mind.
