ヴィリー・ボカージュのおすすめライド

Wonderful section to drive through beautiful nature

Quiet country roads lead to this small cemetery for approximately 630 British soldiers who died in WWII.

Here you can find an experienced cyclist who travels both within the city walls and outside on his bike... named Brother Bernard the cyclist of Mondaye... participating in the French clergy cycling championship on May 1st... while exercising his role as a caregiver especially for the elderly... With joy to meet cyclists passing through...

As a memorial to the countless war dead, such a "Cimetiere militaire" - in German they are usually referred to as "war graves" or "soldiers' cemetery" - is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the many people buried here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and an inhuman tyranny. The most important and at the same time everlasting function of soldiers' cemeteries or cemeteries of honor or war graves is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and to remind each generation anew (!) of the need to maintain lasting peace.

Saint-Martin de Mondaye Abbey is a very beautiful and quiet 18th century building. It has a beautiful garden and picnic tables are available in the parking lot.

Magnificent viewpoint and place to stop near the Orne!

The Normandy countryside, fields as far as the eye can see. Enjoy far from city traffic!

Abbey in the Bessin countryside, south of Bayeux. It was built in the 1200s and is classified as a historic monument.
