Bicycling In & Around Deauville

I've never biked in Europe, but I spent a good bit of time walking around Deauville, and I remember it as being very flat. There wasn't much vehicular traffic. I think Cabourg (connected to Deauville by bus) would also work.

You can ride a bike from Deauville to Honfleur (1h 15m) but I don’t know what the terrain is like.

Here's a link (in English) to bicycle tourism in Normandy — the first link shows a bike path that goes along the coast including Deauville . . .you can see if heading out on this in either direction from Deauville looks interesting/doable

Here's another link, a story in France's biggest daily, if you read French or can run it through Google translate.

Thanx for the responses guys. I appreciate it. In the end we may just have to throw ourselves on the mercy on the concierge for some ideas, not to mention the hope that my knee is up to some hilly peddling by then.

Ask the hotel about renting an e-bike. You will be surprised how prevalent they are there. I am a serious cyclist and shocked to find when in the Dolomites, it was actually much harder to rent a non powered bike. That takes the knee issue out of the question.

Yes, Jason I wondered that too. Their website doesn't specify but it's quite possible.

E-bikes definitely recommended, in addition to what others have said, there are some steep hills on either side of Deauville-Trouville unless you take long detours inland.
