ITINERARY*
The route starts in the city of lights – Paris, with its characteristic Eiffel Tower and the romantic river banks of the Seine. Cycle around the Notre Dame and leave the city behind on quiet roads until you reach Versailles, known for its prestigious palace.
Cross the Natural Parc of Haute Vallée de Chevreuse and the Ramboullet forest. Ride through the Perche region, land of endless woods, meadows and farms and home to the famous Percheron draft horses.
Enter into Normandy where you will find yourself easily rolling through a landscape of gentle green hills dotted with medieval villages. Finally, you will arrive to the Mont-Saint-Michel, a tidal island holding a picturesque town, 1km off the Atlantic coast. The island holds a magnificent abbey listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
*A shorter version is available, starting from Ramboullet instead of Paris. If you are interested, please contact us for detailed information.
