Alternatives to the train by which to reach the Veloscenic cycle route

4 practical solutions to simplify your journey

Is there a lack of space on board, or are there changes of train that are too complicated? If so, it’s possible: 

to call on a private transport company for a transfer or return home;
to take a coach journey.

Is there a lack of spaces for bikes on board the trains you wish to use? We recommend:

the use of one of the 5 bike-hire companies that provide a one-way service »;
the use of the Mes bagages SNCF service (available from May 2021).

Finally, if you have more time, remember that the Veloscenic is connected to other cycle routes and that it’s possible to prolong your trip or to plan your own circuit.

I wish to join/leave the route by coach

Less familiar to many than trains, certain coach lines can offer you options for joining or leaving the Veloscenic.

National coach lines: at time of writing, there was no national coach line (such as Flixbus or Blablabus) offering services between Paris and the Mont Saint-Michel.

Regional coach services:

✔️️Normandy: Bicycles are accepted on regular bus lines* with a limit of 2 spots per bus. Here are the bus lines near the itinerary: Caen/Rennes, Caen/Alençon/Le Mans, Villedieu/Le Mont Saint Michel. Bicycles are stored in the luggage compartment. Folded bicycles in a cover are considered as luggage and must be placed in the luggage compartment in addition to 2 unfolded bicycles allowed on board the buses.
❌Region Centre-Val de Loire: note that bikes are not accepted on board coaches in this region (certainly concerning lines close to the Veloscenic).
