From inland Brittany to the promise of the open sea

Set out to explore one of Europe’s most beautiful cycling routes: the Vélodyssée. From Rennes to the sun-drenched beaches of the Vendée, this route winds along peaceful canals, wild estuaries, and charming seaside villages. The journey begins in the heart of authentic Brittany, amid lush countryside, picturesque locks, and welcoming stops along the Vilaine River. The route continues toward Nantes, a city of art and history, before gradually leading you to the Atlantic Ocean and its sense of freedom.

Each stage offers its own share of discoveries: oyster ports, salt marshes, the crossing from Le Gois to the island of Noirmoutier, long golden-sand beaches, and lively seaside resorts. A true immersion in French coastal culture, punctuated by the joy of cycling on safe, well-marked trails. Accessible and enjoyable, this cycling trip charms with both its diversity and its leisurely pace. An ideal getaway to savor the simple pleasures of travel… with your gaze fixed on the horizon.
