Cycle
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.
If you are looking for a
longer trip suitable for you and your friends, you
will find 
plenty to please
on the routes running
through the villages of 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.
