You could try this one, not stayed there myself but has been recommended by others i know and the owner is a biker.

http://www.normandyvacations.com/index.html

Owners name is Ron.

If your looking for a biker guide, worth contacting Jak

Biking D-Day Battlefield Tours in Normandy, France :-

www.triumphanttours.co.uk

done a couple of Beeches tours with Jak and its well worth it.

also worth checking out the Downloads section / Riding in France / BCFr Checklist for info and tips on what to take with you, legal requirements etc

http://www.bikeclubfrance.com

Hope that helps, mention me please, they both know me Smile

A Big +1 to these...

However, Ron and Bunty are selling up and won’t be there next year. A new couple have bought it and they are going to be running it. The seemed like a decent couple when I met them in September when I was there = another biking couple to run the place

This year I organised a 2 week trip for 16 goldwing riders. We used eurocamp group bookings. Worked out at £200 per couple for a 14 night stay. They have numerous Normandy sites Very Happy

Eurocamp wasn't camping we had caravans, certain sites also have chalets Smile
