Individual arrival to Saint- Malo. This historic walled city is well known for its history of piracy and overseas adventures. Take a stroll along the walls this evening and soak up the atmosphere.

Day 2: Saint-Malo - Dol de Bretagne, approx. 50 km

Today will be the first ride of your cycle tour. You will set out cycling along the river Rance to the little harbour of Saint Suliac, before reaching Mont Dol. At this traditional French commune you will find a bizarre granite dome dominating the plain.

Discover the landscape of the Coglais, which is characterised by granite-built houses. You will ride through the sleepy villages of St. Marc-le-Blanc, Le Tiercent and Baillé, and get the opportunity to admire the fortress of Fougères before you return to St. Brice en-Cogles.

Day 5: St. Brice-en-Cogles - Beauvoir, approx. 69 km

Today’s route will bring you to the border of Brittany and Normandy and then on to St. James, a town well known for its woollen drapers in times gone by. You continue to Ducey and then follow the river Sélune, which will lead you to the highlight of this tour; the Bay of Mont Saint Michel.

Day 6: Beauvoir - Cancale, approx. 45 km

Drink in the unforgettable view of Mont Saint Michel, also titled "Miracle of the Occident".

Bike Hire

Bike Hire

Bicycles inclusive panniers:

21-speed-unisex bike with mudguards, comfort gel saddles, flat-palmed grips, Schwalbe Marathon anti-puncture tyres and helmet.

E-bike

By popular demand, we have now invested in a considerable number of e-bikes, much favoured by cyclists who love the great Outdoors, but prefer to let the bike take the strain.

With an electro bike every bike tour is a breeze! The shiftable, low noise electric drive of our modern E-bike relieves you of some of the work and increases the pedal force up to 3 times ... Acclivity can be handled easily.

A note to our customers: Electric bikes are a great thing! However, due to their characteristics (high weight + high speed) they should only be booked by very experienced and safe cyclists with a good sense of balance. E-bikes are not appropriate for persons who do not ride bikes frequently.

Private bicycles

You are welcome to bring your own bicycle. This is adapted especially to your needs. Do not forget to bring a repair kit with all necessary tools such as: keys, spare tube and lock. Please check all functions of your bicycle carefully upon arrival.
