This is the fuller version of the ride: everything in the shorter tour, extended west along the cliffs to Pointe du Hoc, and finished with a cider tasting in the Norman countryside. We start, as always, at Bayeux Cathedral, consecrated in 1077 before William the Conqueror, then head out on backroads no coach can reach, to Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, where 9,387 crosses and Stars of David stand across 172 acres above the bluffs. From the cemetery, the route turns west along a quiet cliff path — the Channel on one side, the ground Allied troops once crossed on the other — to Pointe du Hoc, where bomb craters and shattered bunkers still mark the cliffs the U.S. Rangers scaled under fire.
