Monet's Trail - Rouen
When we think of Normandy, we immediately think of the D-Day landing beaches and the Operation Overlord that took place there. But Normandy has WAY MORE to offer than just WWII memorials. In this tour we are exploring the more inland part of beautiful Normandy and we have taken the French impressionist painter Claude Monet as our inspiration.

In ride 1 of Monet's Trail tour we are taking you to the absolute Monet highlight in this area: his house and gardens. Of course with a lovely ride. And before we get to Giverny we have a coffee stop in the lovely village of Lyons-la-Foret. And to end this ride in style the ride will bring you to not 1 but 2 AMAZING views. One on the area that is called the Haute Seine and one on the ciry of Rouen. A very nice way to explore this part of Normandy!

With ride 2 in this Monet's Trail tour we are going to the absolute lovely city of Honfleur where Monet used to love to paint with the changing light. To get there, the ride crosses the Parc Naturel Régional des Boucles de la Seine Normande crossing the river Seine with the 3 impressive bridges in this area: the Pont de Brotonne, the Pont de Tancarville and the Pont de Normandie.
Nice to combine with a 1 day connection route
