Cycle the Nord Pas de Calais

The Nord Pas de Calais region is a land of traditions and authenticity, personalised by its people who welcome you with open arms into their many cultures, from traditional cafes where one can enjoy a good carbonade or a timeless old Flemish game such as ‘marteau’ or ‘billard Nicolas’.

The region is great for exploring by bicycle, from natural beauties such as the Regional Nature Park in Avesnois, where rock roses and wild carnations still bloom, to the Flanders hills, shared by its famous windmills, some of which are still working and producing flour, plus hundreds of kilometres of sandy beaches.

Cyclists will discover more than 1,500 km of signposted trails, from the lush bocages of the Avesnois, where rock roses and wild carnations still bloom, to the rolling hills and flat lands of Flanders, shared by its famous windmills, some of which are still working and producing flour, plus hundreds of sandy beaches.

There are 22 well signposted trails for families and sporting riders, taking you through this region renowned for its conviviality and festivities. Along the way, you will find unspoilt trails taking in the many different facets of the Nord!

The Nord Pas de Calais’ websites will help you plan and enjoy your biking holiday through the region, including maps and directions for cycling trails, accommodation providers and useful links.
