It's not just in Paris that cyclists are getting hooked! For several years now, cycle touring has been gaining ground in France, attracting more and more curious onlookers and enthusiasts. On October 15, 2020, a new 420km cycle route was inaugurated. It's called"La Seine à Vélo". Just imagine: a cycle route that crosses 8 départements (Paris, Seine-Saint-Denis, Hauts-de-Seine, Yvelines, Val-d'Oise, Eure, Seine-Maritime and Calvados) along the Seine, linking Paris with Le Havre and Deauville.
While this new cycle route promises to take you from the capital to the sea in just a few minutes,"La Seine à Vélo" is also set to take you on a wonderful adventure through a variety of landscapes, towns and villages rich in history and heritage.
Discover, for example, the fascinating architectural heritage of the great cathedrals of Paris and Rouen, the abbey of Jumièges, the châteaux of Malmaison... Or prefer its industrial history with the Saint-Denis canal, the river ports and the barge industry at Conflans-Sainte-Honorine. Some will certainly turn to more gastronomic discoveries, with tastings of local specialities and local produce.
In fact,"La Seine à vélo" is also unveiling its website, so you can pick up a few good ideas for stop-offs and itineraries on your next vacation.
Whether you're looking for a family outing, an active cultural weekend or a real "cyclo-trip","La Seine à vélo" is sure to be a memorable escape.
