Accommodation adapted to cyclists’ needs
Do you know about the Accueil Vélo scheme? This French national accreditation is awarded to suitable establishments located under 5 km from a national cycle route and that offer services adapted to touring cyclists’ needs such as:
- A secure, lockable garage
- Clothes washing facilities
- A bicycle pump and repair kit
- A warm welcome, including useful advice for cycling tourists
In 2023, the network of Accueil Vélo accommodation providers along the Veloscenic cycle route extended to 154 hotels, B&Bs, gîtes and campsites dotted along the whole Paris - Le Mont Saint-Michel route.
On our website as well as in our topoguides, these accommodation providers are signalled by the Accueil Vélo logo. A special Accueil Vélo sign will also be prominently visible when you arrive at participating properties.
