Discover one of Europe's most beautiful cycle routes: the Vélodyssée. From Rennes to the sunny beaches of the Vendée, this route runs alongside peaceful canals, wild estuaries, and charming seaside villages. The journey begins in the heart of authentic Brittany, among green countryside, picturesque locks, and friendly stops along the Vilaine River. The route continues to Nantes, a city of art and history, before gradually leading you to the Atlantic Ocean and its scent of freedom.
Each stage offers its share of discoveries: oyster ports, salt marshes, crossing the Gois to the island of Noirmoutier, long sandy beaches, and lively seaside resorts. A true immersion in French coastal culture, punctuated by the pleasure of riding on safe, well-marked trails. Accessible and enjoyable, this bike trip appeals as much for its diversity as for its gentle pace. An ideal getaway to savor the pleasure of traveling in all simplicity... with your gaze turned toward the horizon.
