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 2022, the network of Accueil Vélo accommodation providers along the Veloscenic cycle route extended to 150 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.

Practical advice

Reserve in advance in July and August, when demand is high for B&Bs, gîtes and hotels.
Use the route calculator to get a good first notion of how to tackle the cycle route stages at your own pace.
The topoguides dedicated to the Veloscenic cycle route also include details on suitable accommodation along each stage.
Make sure that you can park your bike in a safe space when staying in towns. Accommodation providers awarded Accueil Vélo accreditation guarantee this service.
Consider organized trips on which you’re semi-autonomous in order to simplify your trip and make the most of additional services, such as bicycle hire and luggage transfer.
