Only there were no bike paths; all we could do was using less busy side roads from Blankenberge, De Haan to Oostende, then on the N318 to Middelkerke, Nieuwpoort (a problem because we had to detour around the harbor), then on N396 past Veurne and De Panne into France.
This is one last picture of riding in the Normandie, one of the nicer ones that actually shows some blue patches in the sky.
All in all, while I recommend all my bicycle tours in these pages, I'd give the Normandy and the Belgian coast low marks in comparison to the rest.
