Tour of Normandy



This was my first attempt at 'credit card touring'. With only a rucksac on my back I set off on my racer from Dieppe with the aim of visiting a friend in Plouguenast, Brittany. But it soon became obvious that I had underestimated the distance between the two, and decided that after day two I would turn it into a mini circuit of Normandy with a visit to the Medival Cathedral at Chartre and Lisieux (above) along the way.

Here is the itinerary:

Day 1 - Dieppe to Cormeilles (113Km)

Day 2 - Cormeilles to La Ferté-Vidame (123Km)

Day 3 - La Ferté-Vidame to Dieppe (299Km)

Day 4 - Dieppe (rest day)
