The experience

St. Catherine's Church anchors the first part of the ride, where your guide walks you through the Sainte-Catherine district and its history before you move on to the Chapel Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and its surroundings. The e-bike does the work on the climbs and longer stretches, so you can focus on what the guide is explaining rather than your legs. From there the route heads to Honfleur's old lighthouse and the marshes around it: the mythical departure point where explorers set out to discover the world. You'll also pass the Normandy Bridge and learn its history as part of the larger story of the region.

The salt warehouses (Greniers à Sel) come later in the tour, a landmark most visitors miss. E-bikes make it possible to cover all these stops (the church, the lighthouse, the warehouses, and the smaller beloved sites the impressionist painters chose) without backtracking or spending the afternoon on logistics. Bottled water and a helmet are included. The 3-hour pace is set by the guide, so you move as a group and stop when there's something worth hearing about.

What’s included

• E-bike use for the full 3 hours.
• helmet and security equipment.
• bottled water.
• guidance from a local expert in your chosen language (English or French).
