This is probably the most ideal way to experience the Normandie countryside, from Bayeux to Omaha Beach - (provided you are up to the task of biking). The person who helped me with the bike was very friendly, and gave very clear instructions and directions in English.
Their addon package was an absolute steal that included a preprogrammed route that could be uploaded to your phone, and a hefty power bank for your phone - both of which were lifesavers! The route was perfect - leading me through countryside roads, alongside farmlands and beach routes, past various monuments and relics of the D-Day invasion that I'm sure many others may have missed by taking more direct routes to the beach. Of course the route still takes you to the American cemetery and Omaha Beach itself (including the museum if you are interested).
The bike had plenty of storage for some camera gear and water, and the electronic assist was helpful for making sure I didn't tire out (and battery was no concern - and I used the Turbo mode to help on some uphill areas, especially towards the end).
I managed to see everything I wanted to and more in just a day, have lunch at the beach and still had plenty of time to get catch the train to and from Paris. I absolutely would recommend this to anyone looking to really soak in Normandie for what it is and take a journey that respects the history of what happened there. Thank you Loc Velo for providing a very memorable experience out of what was initially a worry filled, last minute solo day drip from Paris to Omaha Beach.

Without a reservation, I walked in the Bayeux office to rent a bike to cycle to the coast. Quick and friendly service from Jean Baptiste. Good condition trekking bike with paneer and phone case.
Rented 2 days. Received gpx files for 2 routes and used my Wahoo for nav. Worked well. Had map for backup.
