  • Itinerary
    • This 5-day loop tour of Brittany by bike is a bunch of both heritage and nature of the region.

    Your trip begins in Saint-Malo where you get to know the coast before riding for an adventure in the inland through small countryside roads. You will be welcomed with open arms in the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel.

    After visiting this world-class monument, you ride in the open air through magnficient and undisclosed landscapes: woods, ponds, canal, sea,etc. It is a recipe for an amazing break with lots of local dishes such as galettes, shortbread biscuits or seafood.

    Day 1
     
     

    Saint-Malo - Dol-de-Bretagne

    Bike
    40km
    Today’s ride takes you along the wild, sandy beaches of the Mont-Saint-Michel. Ride at your own pace as you gaze at the magnificent abbey. You could enjoy some water activities in Hirel or bike directly through the countryside to Dol-de-Bretagne. This medieval town is dominated by the 13th century massive cathedral. Climb the Tour-Notre-Dame for outstanding views of the area.

    Day 2
     
     

    Dol-de-Bretagne - Mont-Saint-Michel (Pontorson)

    Bike
    38km
    Let’s get ready, your daily step takes you to the world-famous Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey! The gravity defying medieval monastery will astound you as you explore this massive building.

    Day 3
     
     

    Mont-Saint-Michel (Pontorson) - Hédé

    Bike
    57km
    After this stop in Normandy (even if the Bretons often claim Mont Saint Michel for themselves, it is important to know it is Norman when travelling there), you follow the cycle path to Antrain and its castle.

    You ride then through an amazing countryside and discover small historical cities such as Bazouges-la-Pérouse and feel with all your senses the liveliness of a preserved nature made of woods, ponds and fields.

    Meet the canal of Ille-et-Rance for the last kilometers and stop in Hédé with its eleven locks.

    Day 4
     
     

    Hédé - Dinan

    Bike
    38km
    Cycle path along towpath
    Continue along the canal and towpath. Take time to explore the medieval town of Lehon with its splendid Royal Abbey.

    In Dinan, don’t miss taking a look at the 43 meter high "Tour de l’Horloge" which consists of both a dungeon and a bell tower.

    Day 5
     
     

    Dinan - Saint-Malo

    Bike
    25km
    This morning your route leaves the towpath as you ride further into the scenic countryside through forests and well-tented gardens. The trail is quite flat since the path was a former railroad line. As you arrive in the city of Dinard, have a look at the beautiful mansions overlooking the ocean.

    From Dinard, take the ferry to Saint-Malo, the old city of privateers! Ferry crossing between Dinard and Saint-Malo is included.

    “ Bon pour le moral ”

    On the 2023-08-06 by Philippe Merz
    Malgré le vent contraire, la pluie abondante durant un jour, la découverte d'une région pittoresque de la Bretagne en 5 jours, loin du trafic routier nous a beaucoup stimulé. Le choix des itinéraires, des villes d'étapes, des hôtels nous a beaucoup plu. Nous étions partout les bienvenus, les réservations (tables, transfer bâteaux) correspondaient au plan que nous avions reçu. Un grand MERCI pour l'organisation impeccable et le bon état des vélos mis à dispositions.

    magnifique expérience. Des balades formidables, mer, foret, bort de rivière..... et sans oublié une organisation sans faille. Super vélos, beaux hébergements, guidage très facile, les bagages toujours dans la chambre chaque soir. Bref un séjour que n’oublions pas et surtout qui nous donne envie de repartir

    “ Très beau parcours en Bretagne Nord ”

    On the 2023-05-01 by Nicolas
    Circuit très vert, et varié entre mer, sites historiques et campagne, idéal pour une petite famille et de jeunes pédaleurs !
