앰블리 최고의 라이딩 경로

Reviers와 Fontaine-Henry 사이를 구불구불 이어지는 매우 예쁜 작은 길로, 일부 구간은 "La Mue" 강이 끼고 있습니다. Fontaine-Henry에 도착하면 성을 포함한 오래된 석조 건물들이 있는 매우 아름답고 목가적인 장소입니다.

Wonderful section to drive through beautiful nature

Nice city

The first trotting race was organized in the Prairie on August 26, 1837, by the Caen Agricultural and Commercial Society. On February 13, 1839, the city decided to create a permanent racecourse. In August of the following year, it was agreed to build stands to accommodate spectators. In 1845, the earth from the digging of the Caen-Sea Canal was dumped in the Prairie to build the racecourse. On October 21, 1864, the Society for the Encouragement of the Improvement of the French Half-Blood Horse was created in Caen to regulate the trotting racing code for the whole of France.

Caen, first mentioned in documents in 1027, experienced rapid urban development in the 11th century. It was called a burgus (bourg), was the centre of an extensive ducal domain, lay at the crossroads of important roads and had markets and a port. It first developed as an important city in the Duchy of Normandy under William the Conqueror. He had a strong fortress built in Caen and around 1059 an abbey for women (Abbaye aux dames) and one for men (Abbaye aux hommes), in which he was also buried. Later, during the Huguenot Wars (1562), his grave was destroyed and his bones were lost. William's gravestone can still be seen in the church today. He had the monasteries built to atone for his marriage to his cousin Mathilde, which was disapproved of by the Pope. Both monasteries are among the most important monuments in Normandy and are today – by the monks and nuns during the French Revolution

Here, right at the harbor, you can buy the best fish and mussels and crabs

This part of the beaches and Arromanche is truly magnificent, and the historical side of the landing adds to the charm of this small seaside resort. Frankly, from Ouistreham to Omaha Beach, I really enjoyed this gravel hike, which will remain etched in my memory. If you are in this area, on foot, by bike, I invite you to come and stroll around here.

On the ramp from the town up to the memorial site with the monument stands the battle tank from the Second World War.
