What To Expect
Bayeux
Your Gentleman Sider (Guide/Driver) will meet you with his retro sidecar at the pickup location of your choice, or at the Bayeux Tourist Office, or at the Bayeux Bus Station. He will assist you in equipping helmets, gloves, and retro goggles before settling you in. There will, of course, be stops along the way for breaks and photo opportunities.
Arromanches-les-Bains
Your pilot will take you to Arromanches-les-Bains. It was on this beach that, during the Battle of Normandy, immediately after D-Day on June 6, 1944, the Allies established Port Mulberry B, a temporary artificial harbor to facilitate the landing of heavy equipment, without having to wait for the conquest of deep-water ports such as those of Le Havre or Cherbourg (Cherbourg-en-Cotentin since 2016). Although located in the center of the Gold Beach landing zone, Arromanches was spared the brunt of the fighting on D-Day. In order to facilitate the installation and operation of a port as quickly as possible, it was essential not to damage the beach and to preserve the surrounding communication routes. Therefore, the British troops landed further east, between Asnelles and Ver-sur-Mer, and liberated Arromanches by land on the evening of June 6. The port was thus operational by June 14.

5.00Our guide and driver, Philipe was very engaging and knowledgeable, he made this experience special by accessing places that are unknown from most. He shared his passion of the World War II and of the region of Normandy with the most interesting stories. No one knows more about the weapons and especially the tanks used at that time…. He served in the a French army in the tank division before being a guide. Being from Normandy he also has met people who fought during the war and has a lot to tell about them! He took all the time needed and more, we never felt rushed! This was simply a fantastic experience!!!
Spectacular tour of Normandy....with style!

The motorcycles with sidecars were so awesome! I highly recommend this tour! Thank you for helping us make family memories.
