Poitou Charentes

 

 


Whether you’re cycling with friends or family, for pleasure, travel or sport, two wheelers are in their element here in Poitou-Charentes. There’s nothing complicated about it. Just take gently rolling countryside, plenty of different scenery and add more than 2,000 kilometres of cycle tracks, hundreds of sign-posted mountain bike trails and thousands of quiet tree-lined back roads. Poitou-Charentes has something for everybody!

 

 

Not convinced? Well, enjoy a short ride with your family and see what the islands of Ré, Oléron or Aix have to offer. Or take a trip along the paths through the Marais poitevin. Running along the coast, across the islands or along the river banks, there are cycle paths and cycle tracks, waiting just for you.

 

Are you looking for a longer trip, suitable for you and your friends? Fans of cycle touring will find plenty to please on the routes running through the villages of Poitou-Charentes such as Angles-sur-l’Anglin or Charroux.

 

Of course, you may prefer mountain biking, a great way of tearing down the hillsides in the bucolic valleys of Charente-Limousine or through the forests of maritime pines in the Royan area. If so, head for one of the accredited mountain bike centres (“Centres VTT”) where you will find everything you need for your favourite sport, whatever your level of expertise.
